Overview

  • The Giants waived DeVito on Aug. 26 during 53-man roster cuts after reshaping their quarterback room with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and first-round pick Jaxson Dart.
  • DeVito is expected to slot in as New England’s No. 3 quarterback behind starter Drake Maye and backup Joshua Dobbs, according to Vrabel.
  • The waiver claim prevents a potential Giants practice-squad return that was only possible if he cleared waivers.
  • DeVito capped his preseason by going 17-of-20 for 198 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-10 win over the Patriots.
  • Across two seasons with the Giants, the 27-year-old completed 65.3% of his passes for 1,358 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions after becoming a 2023 fan favorite as “Tommy Cutlets.”
