Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants
Minnesota's expansion roster added Mel Triplett, Bob Schnelker and Bob Schmidt from New York in July 1961. The Giants received Dave Whitsell, Zeke Smith, the 1962 fifth-round pick used on Bookie Bolin, and another 1962 selection whose exact slot is not securely traced. Triplett immediately started at fullback, while the Giants recovered multiple assets, producing a genuinely balanced early-franchise exchange.
