Can quarterback reprise ‘DeVito-Mania’?
Tommy DeVito got the nod over Drew Lock to replace Daniel Jones as the New York Giants starting quarterback largely because of the “spark” DeVito gave the team in 2023 when his play and personality as an undrafted rookie free agent created ‘Devito-Mania’, Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Monday.
“After evaluating a bunch of things and looking at a lot of tape, and being around Tommy last year where he created a little bit of a spark for us, that’s the reason why we’re going with Tommy,” Daboll said when he confirmed the quarterback switch...

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll officially announced the team’s intention to make a change at quarterback going forward on Monday during a Zoom conference call.
Daniel Jones will no longer be the starter and has been relegated all the way down the depth chart to the No. 3 spot.
Drew Lock will remain the primary backup while third-stringer Tommy DeVito, who hasn’t played a snap since the preseason, has been elevated to the starting role beginning this Sunday at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The changes may not end there. Daboll intimated that there could be more...

The Daniel Jones era in New York has reached its end.
After five and a half seasons of pretending that Jones was their answer at quarterback, the Giants finally cut the cord on their 2019 first-round pick, benching him for the remainder of the season.
Since the Giants have an “out” in Jones’ $160 million contract after this season, his tenure with the team is effectively over.
Jones was selected sixth overall out of Duke in the 2019 NFL draft. After a promising rookie season in which he threw 24 touchdowns in 12 starts, Jones fell off a cliff and...

The Giants lose three draft spots over their bye week
The New York Giants currently hold the fifth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, per Tankathon. While they still have a top-5 pick, it's a drop from the second overall selection they held after their 20-17 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 10.
The Giants weren’t on the field for Week 11, but it was still potentially consequential for them. We’ve since learned that the team has benched quarterback Daniel Jones, and will start 2023 UDFA Tommy DeVito in his place.
The decision to bench Jones, the...

When he met with reporters during the team’s bye week, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen insisted any personnel moves ahead of a Week 12 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be “football decisions.”
“We’re going to evaluate everything the rest of the week and the decisions we make will be football decisions,” Schoen said. “Any decisions we make moving forward as we evaluate the roster and what we’re doing for the final seven games will be football decisions.
“We have seven games left in this season and that’s what we’re focused on. I’m focused on 2024 and...

Things have become so sad and miserable for the New York Giants that they somehow managed to lose during their bye week.
No, the Giants obviously didn’t drop a game during their short hiatus, but they did see their 2025 NFL draft stock worsen a bit. That’s because many of the teams they needed to win (or lose) did the exact opposite, costing them three spots. At least for now.
With the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, and Las Vegas Raiders all falling flat and taking a loss, the Giants dropped from the No. 2 overall pick to the...

The biggest question facing the New York Giants coming back from their bye week was the status of starting quarterback Daniel Jones.
The 2-8 Giants wasted no time on Monday morning, leaking the news that Jones will no longer be their starter, reports NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

The Giants appear to be moving on from Jones
The New York Giants are benching starting quarterback Daniel Jones, per a report from Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
The move to bench Jones was pretty widely expected over the bye week. Not only is Jones coming off of a poor performance against the Carolina Panthers, but he had already been benched for the fourth quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The bye week following the trip to Munich is a natural break point to make such a significant change.

Last seven games will have an impact on the team’s future
The New York Giants get back to work this week, playing out the string of a lost 2-8 season, something that has become a far-too-familiar occurrence in East Rutherford, N.J. Here are six things to watch the rest of the way.
It isn’t a matter of “if” the Giants choose to replace Daniel Jones in the starting lineup, but “when”. That may come as soon as this week when the Giants host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium.
We may not find that out until...

Does anyone want to play for the New York Giants these days?
I’m sure there are a few, but based on just about every player who leaves — either by their own volition or the team’s — seems to believe they’re better off.
The Giants recently released cornerback Nick McCloud in a curious move that turned out to be cap-related. He was scooped up by the San Francisco 49ers this week and placed on their practice squad.
McCloud was a key contributor on defense and special teams but injuries have forced the Giants to shuffle their roster and McCloud, who...
