"The New York Giants officially took chicken cutlets off the menu on Tuesday when they waived fan-favorite quarterback Tommy DeVito after two seasons with the team. DeVito was the only quarterback holdover from last year's roster, which dealt with an endless quarterback carousel that circled from Daniel Jones to Drew Lock, to DeVito, to Tim Boyle. The 27-year-old New Jersey native became a cult hero in 2023 when he went 3-3 as a starter with eight touchdowns and three interceptions."
"He took full advantage of his quick rise to fame, leaning on his Italian roots with his pinched-hand celebration and an endorsement deal with a New Jersey-based tomato sauce company. In three appearances last season, he completed 70.5% of his passes for 257 yards. He made one last push to stay on the roster in Thursday's preseason finale against the New England Patriots, completing 17-of-20 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns."
Tommy DeVito was waived by the New York Giants after two seasons with the team. He was the only quarterback carryover from a previous roster that rotated through Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, DeVito, and Tim Boyle. DeVito went 3-3 as a 2023 starter with eight touchdowns and three interceptions and earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week after a Week 14 win over Green Bay. He gained local fame with a pinched-hand celebration and a Jersey-based tomato sauce endorsement. He completed 70.5% of passes for 257 yards last season and excelled in the preseason finale, but roster crowding and new additions including Russell Wilson and rookie Jaxson Dart led to his release. The Giants could still bring DeVito back.
