Rewarding Moments In Redskins History: Sonny And Sam Join The Redskins

In today's Rewarding Moments In Redskins History presented by Maryland Lottery My Lottery Rewards, we look back at the Redskins trading for Sonny Jurgensen and Sam Huff in 1964.

Sonny Jurgensen thought it was an April Fool’s joke, but when a man told him on March 31, 1964, that he had been traded from the Eagles to the Redskins for Norm Snead he was telling the truth.

The division rivals swapped quarterbacks and the Redskins ended up receiving a 5-time Pro Bowler out of the deal, along with a few other players.
