Giants Release QB Tommy DeVito Amid Quarterback Competition

The New York Giants face a quarterback dilemma as former NFL GM Mike Tannenbaum and ex-quarterback Chase Daniel advocate for rookie Jaxson Dart to start over Russell Wilson, citing Dart's superior preseason performance and comfort in the team's offense. Despite Dart's strong showing with no interceptions and three touchdowns in preseason games, Wilson remains the designated starter. Meanwhile, the Giants released backup quarterback Tommy DeVito, who had been a fan favorite and showed promise in limited action over two seasons, highlighting the crowded quarterback room now featuring Wilson, Dart, and veteran Jameis Winston. DeVito faces a tough career choice between staying on the practice squad or seeking playing opportunities elsewhere. This situation underscores the Giants' commitment to developing Dart while managing a competitive and uncertain quarterback roster ahead of the regular season opener against the Washington Commanders. The decision reflects the broader challenges NFL teams encounter balancing veteran presence with emerging talent.
