NFL news: Giants to waive Tommy DeVito

The New York Giants have made a tough decision as they approach the roster cutdown deadline. Quarterback Tommy DeVito is set to be waived by the team, according to reports from various sources. With the Giants already having signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in the offseason, as well as drafting Jaxson Dart in the first round, it was clear that DeVito would be the odd man out.

DeVito, a native of New Jersey, gained popularity during the 2023 season when he was thrust into the starting role due to injuries at the quarterback position. He managed to lead the team to a victory against the Washington Commanders in Week 11, throwing three touchdown passes in the process. Fans affectionately nicknamed him “Tommy Cutlets” and he became known for his Italian hand gesture that captivated the fanbase.

Despite his cultural impact off the field, DeVito struggled to make a significant impact on the field in subsequent seasons. With the Giants making strategic moves in the offseason, including not pulling the trigger on a potential trade involving DeVito, it became increasingly clear that his time with the team was coming to an end.

As the Giants prepare for the 2025 season, DeVito will now have the opportunity to find a new team or potentially land back on the Giants’ practice squad. His future in the NFL remains uncertain, but his time with the Giants will be remembered for the excitement he brought to the fans both on and off the field.
