Overview

  • New York waived Tommy DeVito on Tuesday during NFL roster cutdowns after a crowded offseason at quarterback.
  • The New York Post reported Wednesday that the Patriots claimed DeVito off waivers, a development not corroborated by other outlets in the provided coverage.
  • New York kept three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster—starter Russell Wilson, backup Jameis Winston and first-round rookie Jaxson Dart—as teams rarely carry four.
  • DeVito capped his preseason by going 17-for-20 for 198 yards and three touchdowns in a 42-10 win over New England.
  • Before the reported claim, the expected outcomes were a waiver claim by another club or a return to the Giants' practice squad if he cleared waivers.
