Giants Bench Daniel Jones, Promote Tommy DeVito

The New York Giants have officially benched starting quarterback Daniel Jones, promoting Tommy DeVito to the starting role ahead of their Week 12 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Brian Daboll explained that the decision was influenced by DeVito's past performances, despite some skepticism from fans and former players like Chris Canty, who questioned DeVito's effectiveness as a starter last season. DeVito, who had a 3-3 record in six starts last year, will replace Jones as the team seeks to break a five-game losing streak. Meanwhile, Drew Lock remains the backup, having struggled with injuries and underwhelming performances during the preseason. This change comes amid speculation regarding the Giants' long-term strategy, including potential shifts in their roster and quarterback position for the future. The team's management may also be considering financial implications tied to Jones' contract as they navigate the remainder of the season.
