What's Happening?
The New York Giants have released quarterback Tommy DeVito as part of their roster adjustments to finalize the 53-man team. DeVito, known as 'Tommy Cutlets,' was a fan favorite but faced stiff competition from newly signed veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, as well as first-round draft pick Jaxson Dart. Despite his performance in preseason games, where he completed 30 of 38 passes for 323 yards, DeVito was not expected to remain with the team due to the depth at the quarterback position.
