Tommy DeVito will not be returning to the New York Giants as a member of the team’s practice. DeVito was claimed on waivers Wednesday by the New England Patriots.
There was some hope that the popular DeVito, a New Jersey high school hero who authored an unlikely three-game winning streak as an undrafted free agent rookie quarterback in 2023, would go unclaimed and return to the Giants on the practice.
Instead, DeVito will back up Drake Maye in New England. Whether he will be QB2 or QB3 with the Patriots
is unknown. New England also has veteran Joshua Dobbs on its 53-man roster.
DeVito, of course, lost his roster spot in New York because the Giants have a rebuilt quarterback room with veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, and first-round pick Jaxson Dart.
In two seasons with the Giants, DeVito went 3-5 as a starter. In 12 total games, he completed 145 of 222 passes for 1,358 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions.
The Giants are in Foxboro, Mass. to face the Patriots on Dec. 1. Could DeVito play against his old team?
Here is the question for you, Giants fans:
Are you happy for DeVito that he landed on another team’s 53-man roster, or bummed because he will no longer be a Giant?
