**Giants to Waive Quarterback Tommy DeVito Ahead of Roster Cuts**
The New York Giants are set to waive quarterback Tommy DeVito as the Tuesday roster cutdown deadline approaches, according to multiple reports. The team has indicated that they do not plan to carry four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster. This decision follows the offseason signings of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, along with the selection of Jaxson Dart from Ole Miss in the first round of the draft.
DeVito, a native of New Jersey, gained significant attention during the 2023 season when he stepped into the starting role for six games due to a series of injuries at the quarterback position. He notably led the Giants to a victory in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders, throwing three touchdown passes in that game.
Affectionately nicknamed “Tommy Cutlets,” DeVito won over fans with his charismatic personality and signature Italian hand gesture. He finished the 2023 season with a 3-3 record as a starter but struggled in 2024, going 0-2. While he made a cultural impact on social media and among Giants fans, his on-field performance did not match the same level of enthusiasm.
Given the Giants’ strategic offseason moves, it was going to be challenging for DeVito to secure a spot on the 2025 roster. Although there were rumors of him being a trade candidate following the team’s preseason finale, no deal was finalized.
As DeVito prepares to enter free agency, he may find opportunities with other teams or potentially return to the Giants’ practice squad.
