The New York Giants have officially released quarterback Tommy DeVito, according to reports. DeVito, who became a fan favorite in 2023 with his unexpected run as the Giants’ starter, now finds himself without a roster spot as the team reshapes its quarterback depth chart heading into the 2025 season.
A New Era Under Center
The release doesn’t come as a surprise given the team’s current quarterback situation. The Giants brought in Russell Wilson this offseason on a one-year deal to serve as the starter, offering veteran stability and leadership. Behind him, New York has Jameis Winston, who the front office has repeatedly said will remain with the team despite trade speculation.
Most notably, the Giants invested in the future by drafting Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Dart’s strong preseason — highlighted by efficient passing and poise in the pocket — has positioned him as a key piece of the franchise’s long-term plan.
Looking Ahead
The Giants’ quarterback room now looks more defined:
- Russell Wilson: QB1, tasked with leading the offense and mentoring the younger players.
- Jameis Winston: Veteran backup, providing insurance and experience.
- Jaxson Dart: Rookie first-rounder, viewed as the potential future face of the franchise.
While DeVito’s release closes one chapter, it signals a clearer direction for the Giants as they balance short-term competitiveness with long-term quarterback development.
