Giants to waive fan favorite Tommy DeVito: reports
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The New York Giants will waive quarterback Tommy DeVito as Tuesday’s roster cutdown deadline neared, according to multiple reports.
The Giants didn’t appear to have any intention of carrying four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster. The team signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in the offseason and used a first-round draft pick to select Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss.

It made DeVito the odd man out, ending his mythical run with the Giants.
DeVito, a New Jersey native, rose in popularity when he was thrust into the starting role for six games amid the slew of injuries at the quarterback position in 2023. He helped the team to a win in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders, throwing three touchdown passes.

DeVito was nicknamed “Tommy Cutlets” and captivated fans with an Italian hand gesture. He was 3-3 as a starter in 2023 and 0-2 as a starter in 2024. He never really made the same impact on the field as he did culturally on social media or on Giants fans.
It was going to be difficult for DeVito to make the 2025 roster with the team’s shrewd offseason moves. He was rumored to be a trade candidate in the days following the team’s preseason finale but New York never pulled the trigger on a deal.

DeVito will be able to find himself a new team or, potentially, land back on the Giants’ practice squad.

Former England cricketer Moeen Ali has announced his return to the Pakistan Super League (PSL), saying he was excited to be part of the league’s “new era”.
After the 10th edition of the PSL earlier this year, the league is set for an expansion to eight teams, with the addition of two new franchises.
Meanwhile, Moeen, who has previously featured in the marquee league when he represented former champions Multan Sultans in the 2020 and 2021 editions, expressed his eagerness to rejoin the league.
Moeen stated that the PSL, since its advent in 2016, has “earned a reputation for top-level T20 cricket”, featuring close competition and talented players.
“I’m really excited to be joining HBL PSL in its New Era. The league has earned a reputation for top-level T20 cricket, with high-quality competition and world-class talent across every team,” Moeen wrote on Instagram.
The 38-year-old, who represented England in 68 Tests, 138 ODIs and 92 T20Is during his illustrious career, was also a part of the Three Lions squad that made its historic tour of Pakistan in 2022 to play a three-match Test series. Besides that, Moeen has made several visits to the country.
Reflecting on his previous experiences in Pakistan, Moeen said that he enjoyed playing in the country and specifically praised the enthusiastic crowd, which he said pushes players to give their best on the field.
“Playing in Pakistan is always incredible; quality of cricket is outstanding and the passion and intensity from the crowd push you to bring your best,” he continued.
“I’m looking forward to being part of it all and creating some great memories along the way. Ready for another special experience Insha’Allah!”
His announcement comes just days after former South African captain Faf du Plessis pulled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to play in the upcoming PSL season.
In a post on Instagram on November 29, the renowned cricketer said that he would not put his name in the IPL auction this year.
“It’s a big decision, and one that comes with a lot of gratitude when I look back,” he wrote in his post.
The receiver has been plagued by injuries, but Sunday night against the Broncos, he gave Washington something to talk about other than a seventh straight loss.
