Quarterback Tommy DeVito Joins New England Patriots After Giants Release

In a recent move, the New York Giants have released quarterback Tommy DeVito. The 27-year-old's departure from the Giants has not gone unnoticed, as his former teammate Saquon Barkley took to social media to share a supportive message.

DeVito, who had been with the Giants since 2023, expressed his gratitude for the organization and the fans in New York, stating that his time with the team was "more than football." Barkley, the Giants' star running back, responded with a heartfelt message, saying "Love brotha!! Story far from being over."

Now, DeVito has found a new home with the New England Patriots. The Patriots claimed the quarterback on waivers, and he will join their roster as a backup to starter Drake Maye. While DeVito's playing time may be limited in New England, the move suggests the Patriots see potential in the young QB.

DeVito has appeared in a total of 12 NFL games, starting eight of them. He has thrown for 1,358 yards and 8 touchdowns, with only 3 interceptions. However, the majority of his playing time came during the 2023 season, as he only saw action in 3 games in 2024.

As DeVito looks to take the next step in his career, he will need to earn a starting role with a team. For now, he will have the opportunity to learn behind Maye and potentially make the most of his time in New England.
