Overview
- The move was finalized Tuesday as New York set its 53-man roster with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and first-round rookie Jaxson Dart at quarterback.
- DeVito hit waivers after a standout preseason finale, going 17 of 20 for 198 yards and three touchdowns, and a preseason line of 30 of 38 for 323 yards, four TDs and one interception.
- Team decision-makers considered carrying four quarterbacks but opted to preserve depth elsewhere on the roster, according to NFL Network reporting.
- Trade conversations were explored in recent days, per multiple reports, yet no deal materialized before the deadline.
- Across two seasons with the Giants, DeVito appeared in 12 games with eight starts, totaling 1,358 passing yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions; a practice-squad return is possible if he clears waivers.
