Former New York Giants’ quarterback Phil Simms was shockingly released after the 1993 season after a 15-year career in the Big Apple.
What made the move such a surprise is the fact that Simms had such a good season in 1993 that he was voted to the Pro Bowl after throwing for 3,038 yards, 15 touchdowns, nine interceptions with a quarterback rating of 88.3.
Of course at the time the Giants were ready to move on from Simms and go with first round supplemental draft pick, quarterback Dave Brown. It also didn’t help that Simms was late in his career and had to undergo offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder.
