The New York Giants may have unearthed a new hidden gem in Tommy DeVito. The quarterback, seemingly cognizant of his rapid success, has allegedly capitalized on it by attempting to double an appearance fee charged to a local pizzeria.

The 2023 NFL season has been an absolute roller coaster for the Giants. Before the season began, they gave Daniel Jones a huge contract extension, hoping to secure their franchise quarterback for the long term.

Unfortunately, Jones suffered a season-ending injury a few weeks ago. With Tyrod Taylor also sidelined, they turned to Tommy DeVito as the starter, and his remarkable talent has surprised everyone.

Prior to their Monday Night Football game against the Green Bay Packers, Coniglio’s Old Fashioned pizzeria, located in New Jersey, asked DeVito to make an appearance at their restaurant, which the quarterback reportedly agreed to.

However, his victory against the Packers changed everything. The pizzeria claimed that following the win, Tommy DeVito’s agent changed the terms of their agreement, and it was impossible for them to pay what the quarterback was asking for.

“After last week’s win we received word from his agent that his appearance fee would be doubling (went from 10k to 20); We are a small family run business & decided $20,000 was a bit steep for 2 hours,” the pizzeria wrote in an Instagram post.

Sean Stellato, DeVito’s agent, refused this statement. “It’s a shame that the restaurant promoted that they would have Tommy when we didn’t have a signed contract,” Stellato wrote in a text. “We didn’t raise the price because nothing was ever agreed to.”
