The Giants went through some roster changes after the
1993 season in free agency. Among the departures were
Bart Oates, who was signed by the
San Francisco 49ers;
Mark Collins, who the
Kansas City Chiefs signed;
Myron Guyton, who joined former coach
Bill Parcells with the
New England Patriots; and
Perry Williams, who signed with the
New York Jets. Simms started all 16 games in 1993, being one of only seven quarterbacks to do so, and was named a member of the
Pro Bowl team for his performance, having led the Giants to an 11–5 season that included a victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the playoffs. However, Simms underwent shoulder surgery after the 1993 season to repair a torn labrum. The surgery was successful, and team doctor Russell F. Warren's prognosis for recovery was excellent. Simms was expected to be ready in time for training camp. However, later during that offseason, Simms was released by the Giants, and subsequently decided to retire.
