Overview

  • Multiple outlets including NFL Network and ESPN reported the move as New York set its 53-man roster after trade chatter failed to produce a deal.
  • Team decision-makers considered carrying four quarterbacks but opted to keep depth at other positions, according to NFL Network reporting.
  • The quarterback room now features starter Russell Wilson, backup Jameis Winston and first-round pick Jaxson Dart after a strong preseason by the rookie.
  • DeVito capped the preseason by leading a 42-10 win over the Patriots, completing 17 of 20 passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns.
  • He enters the waiver process and could be re-signed to the Giants’ practice squad if unclaimed, with his agent expressing confidence in outside interest.
