Overview

  • New York waived the 27-year-old quarterback Tuesday during final cuts, placing him on waivers for potential claims before practice squads are set.
  • The 53-man roster lists Russell Wilson as starter with Jameis Winston and first-round pick Jaxson Dart also active, leaving no room for a fourth quarterback.
  • DeVito capped the preseason by going 17-of-20 for 198 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-10 win over the Patriots after a strong August overall.
  • Reports indicated the Giants considered options, including trade talks, but with teams rarely carrying four quarterbacks, no deal preceded the waiver move.
  • The New Jersey native and fan favorite nicknamed “Tommy Cutlets” has 145 completions for 1,358 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions across 12 career games.
