Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
New York acquired linebacker Sid Williams from Cleveland on August 6, 1967 for a player to be named later or a future draft choice. Contemporary reporting and Pro Sports Transactions agree on those terms. Williams never appeared in a regular-season game for the Giants and was moved to Washington for cash on August 27, while Cleveland's eventual return from the original conditional consideration remains unidentified.

Cleveland received the 1968 sixth-round pick and selected Nat James at No. 152. New York Giants's return was Vince Costello. New York acquired Vince Costello.
