Tommy Devito: Released by Giants

[baggerbob]

The back end of the Pats roster this preseason is dire.

Tommy Devito is not better than Mitch Trubisky. That's crazy. He's a 4th string QB in a league where most teams keep 2 QBs.

Sometimes I get the impression you say things you don't really mean just to get an argument going .

 

[Yeti]

I’m just here to say that I also have a high degree of animosity for Tommy devito.

He was atrocious here and then left to play for poopy ahh Illinois.

I don’t even know why we have a thread for him.

(Sorry, it’s late, I’m tired, ignore me)

Devito, the then state of SU football, Babers...bad fit.
Fran would've exploited TD's talents more efficiently.

And would have brought in more competition for the job. There's no guarantee he would have played at all.

Trubisky went 11-3, 8-7, and 6-3 in three consecutive seasons. How is saying he's clearly better than Devito "saying things I don't mean to get an argument going"?

Exactly! He's lasted because he's on the lowly Giants.

Its the characterization as a 4th string QB is what made your comment stirring the pot. Yes he's 4th string, but the Giants roster is a bit of anomaly with two bridge QBs in Winston and Russell, along with a first round pick. Most other rosters Tommy would be fighting for a backup role. Not behind two first rounders and Russell Wilson who not what he used to be, still a serviceable bridge QB.

I'll make a bet with you then. Loser donates $50 to Cuse NIL. When he gets cut, I guarantee he doesn't find his way onto an NFL roster this season. Practice squad doesn't count.

I said fighting for backup making him a 3rd string guy or practice squad. Your Characterization makes him sound like a complete scrub, he won a few games in 2023, beating a solid green bay team. Idk if he makes an active roster beginning of the season, but I could easily see him signing onto one by mid season

He is a complete scrub. That's why I said what I said. Outside of Tim Boyle, he's probably the least deserving QB of an NFL roster spot.

I watched the games. I'm a Giants fan, and to be honest he was more watchable than any qb in 2023

What? Nathan Peterman finally retired?

 

[Yeti]

Can I get in on this bet though? I’ll throw 50 in if by some miracle another team picks him up.

Giants final 2025 53-man roster projection: The roster is deeper and better than it has been in years

The Giants open the 2025 NFL regular season against the Washington Commanders on Sept. 6 at Northwest Stadium.

www.espn.com

QUARTERBACKS (3): Russell Wilson, Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston

Tommy DeVito is the odd man out even though he's a capable backup. The Giants aren't interested in trading the veteran Winston, who they value as a player and leader.

 

[orangenauburn]

Some of these teams, like the Giants, who have multiple capable QBs down the depth chart, should be looking to move Winston and DeVito for draft capital to teams like Pittsburgh, Jets, Vikings, Jags, Saints, etc.

Because those two guys are better than what those teams have as QB 2/3 currently.

Winston probably could start for a couple of teams and do better than their current starters.

Winston is the Giants best QB and he's not going to get any starts for them because they think Jaxson Dart is good

Trading him to the Raiders would make some sense.

Are you saying that Dart isn't good? Or won't be?

Sure, I'll put another 50 on Tommy.

I wouldn't even attempt to put words in Bnoro's mouth, but after watching every Giants game since 1970, I feel entitled to my opinion. I would go Russell QB1 and Dart QB2. See how the season goes after 2,4, or 6 games, and that will determine when and if Dart becomes QB1. See what trade value Devito or Winston brings. Ideally, Winston should bring more, but it's possible, but unlikely that Devito gets traded and then Winston gets cut. But I think Devito is on the taxi squad again and Winston is elsewhere.

Agreed. Winston is terrible. In his last 4 seasons as a starter he's been benched 3 times because he doesn't stop turning it over.

 

[bigmike]

Winston is going to be Dart’s backup as soon as he is ready to take over - I believe that is the longer term plan. Apparently, they like him in the locker room.

DeVito might be on an active roster week 1. He’s better than a lot of the junk QBs out there.

Year 4 is when you have to pay a Vet for full year. This is still an ‘option’ year for him.

And Tommy will also not be on Giants practice squad. That means nothing more than that they have 3 active arms already, no need for a 4th. Use that spot on another OL or DB or whatever.

Wilson and Dart split repeats with the 1s & 2s.

Winston gets the scout team.
