NFL roster roundup: Giants waive QB Tommy DeVito

Undrafted underdog story Tommy “Cutlets” was reduced to Tommy Cuts by the New York Giants on Tuesday.

Backup quarterback Tommy DeVito is the odd man out in New York, but the Giants could bring him back as part of their practice squad prior to Week 1 of the regular season next week. New York has 10-time Pro Bowl selection Russell Wilson in line to be its starter, fellow veteran Jameis Winston as the primary backup and first-round draft choice Jaxson Dart on the roster.

NFL teams are required to reach the NFL regular-season roster limit of 53 players on the active roster Tuesday. Most started training camp with the maximum offseason limit of 90-man rosters.

DeVito, a New Jersey native, became a fan favorite since joining the team as an undrafted rookie in 2023. He has completed 65.3 percent of his passes for 1,358 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions in 12 career games (eight starts).
