The New York Giants\u2019 quarterback room is undergoing a significant shake-up, and it appears fan-favorite Tommy DeVito, affectionately known as \u2018Tommy Cutlets,\u2019 might be the odd man out. Reports from NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo indicate that DeVito was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, a move that, while perhaps not entirely shocking, certainly marks a poignant moment for many Big Blue faithful.

DeVito\u2019s journey with the Giants has been nothing short of a feel-good underdog story. An undrafted free agent out of Illinois (after four seasons at Syracuse), the New Jersey native quickly endeared himself to fans. In a tumultuous 2023 season, he stepped in and quarterbacked New York to an impressive three straight wins, tying the record for the most by a rookie undrafted free agent in the NFL\u2019s common draft era. His performance, including a game-winning field goal drive against the Green Bay Packers that earned him NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, provided a much-needed spark during a challenging period for the team.

However, the landscape of the Giants\u2019 quarterback depth chart has shifted dramatically. With 10-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson now pegged as the starter, veteran free-agent addition Jameis Winston listed as the No. 2, and rookie first-round draft choice Jaxson Dart turning in a stellar preseason, the numbers game simply didn\u2019t favor DeVito. It\u2019s rare for NFL teams to carry four quarterbacks on a 53-man roster, making DeVito\u2019s release a logical, if somewhat disheartening, decision from a roster management perspective.

Despite the news, DeVito\u2019s teammates are publicly backing him. Wide receiver Wan\u2019Dale Robinson, for instance, has been vocal in his support, telling the New York Post, \u201cI think there\u2019s plenty of tape out there that shows he can play in this league.\u201d Robinson highlighted DeVito\u2019s growth within the Giants\u2019 offense, noting how much he\u2019s matured since his initial quiet arrival. He believes DeVito is \u201cprobably the most experienced one in that quarterback room with knowing the offense\u201d and hopes everything works out for him. [2]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DeVito, 27, has compiled a respectable stat line over his two seasons with the Giants, completing 145 of 222 passes (65.3%) for 1,358 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions, with a 3-5 record as a starter. While his 2024 season saw diminished results compared to his breakout 2023, his impact on the team and the fanbase during his time in New York is undeniable. [1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The question now is, what\u2019s next for Tommy Cutlets? There\u2019s a strong possibility he could rejoin the Giants\u2019 practice squad if he clears waivers, or he might find a new home with another NFL team looking for a capable and experienced quarterback. Regardless of where he lands, DeVito\u2019s time with the Giants, though potentially coming to an end, was certainly entertaining and provided some memorable moments for Big Blue fans.
