OR:

The 1964 New York Giants season was the franchise's 40th season in the National Football League. The resulting record of 2-10-2 was the worst record in the league that year, after being Eastern Conference Champions just a year prior. This would be the team's first losing season since 1953.

Offseason Trades and Signings

The New York Giants decided to trade their star defensive player, Sam Huff, a middle linebacker, to the Washington Redskins. They receive young players, being defensive end Andy Stynchula, and halfback Dick James in return. This trade had easily become one of the most controversial and shocking trades in Giants history. The two young players had brought youth but made little impact to the team.


NFL Draft

The New York Giants have selected 20 draft picks in 20 rounds, with only 12 of them playing at all during their careers. All 12 players would be considered rookies their first year playing. One of the rookies, Lou Slaby, inherited the Middle Linebacker position that was left by Sam Huff only starting for 1 of his few years in the league.
