There’s a new signal-caller in the Big Apple. Tommy DeVito has been named the starting quarterback of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a>, and now he has decided to send a strong message to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/daniel-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Jones</a> about taking over his job.



The Giants have made one of the toughest decisions in their recent history. After giving Daniel Jones a lucrative contract extension last year, the club has decided to bench him for the rest of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, and rumors suggest that his time with New York has come to an end.



Daniel Jones didn’t live up to the expectations as a former 6th overall pick. Now, he’s set to leave the Giants soon, with the NFC East club turning to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tommy-devito" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tommy DeVito</a> as his replacement for the remainder of the campaign.



<h2>Tommy DeVito makes it clear to Daniel Jones about replacing him</h2>



The front office of the Giants has not made great decisions recently. Last year, they had the chance to give <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saquon-barkley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saquon Barkley</a> a long-term deal, but the club preferred to give an extension to Daniel Jones instead.

The running back is currently having a great tenure with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philadelphia Eagles</a>, while Jones has already been benched by the Giants. For many fans, it is a clear sign that the front office made a huge mistake with this decision.



Not only has Daniel Jones been benched, but he has also been named the QB3. This move suggests that the club will part ways with him by the end of the season and they do not intend to use him this year to avoid triggering the $23 million clause in case he gets injured.



Now, the Giants have named Tommy DeVito the starter. He replaced Jones last year when Jones suffered the torn ACL that ended his campaign. Following this decision, DeVito has sent a message to his predecessor about replacing him.

“I wouldn’t say surprised, I was open to all outcomes,” DeVito said when asked if he was surprised to become the starting QB. “Last year was a good story and all… it was fun, it was last year. I’m kind of over that — I’m sticking to football now.”



<h2>What will the Giants do with Daniel Jones?</h2>



The Giants have a big issue ahead. Daniel Jones’ contract runs through the 2026 season, but New York is set to part ways with him next offseason. However, it won’t be easy to move on from him due to his contract.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-giants-make-final-decision-on-daniel-jones-replacement-as-starting-qb"></div>


New York has two options on the table: to release him or try to trade him. The first option seems more viable, as it seems like Jones won’t have many teams interested in him. If they go for the first option, the Giants would take a $22 million dead cap hit.

New York City had another Linsanity run. Instead of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-knicks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Knicks, </a>this time it was the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a> the team that got a one-hit wonder superstar for a couple of weeks: Tommy DeVito.



The undrafted rookie QB became an instant sensation and a bit of a cultural icon. References to Goodfellas and The Sopranos flooded social media every time he played, and he looked like a legitimate NFL QB more often than not.



However, following a bad performance vs. the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Philadelphia Eagles</a>, HC Brian Daboll decided to turn back to veteran backup Tyrod Taylor as the quarterback for the remainder of the season.



<h2>DeVito Knows He Belongs</h2>



Even so, people cannot ignore the fact that he did lead the Giants to three consecutive wins, all while not throwing a single interception. That should put the league on notice, and was more than enough to prove to him that he’s got a place in the NFL:



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231228_BUS_94784_Tommy-DeVito-quarterback-of-the-New-York-Giants-1024x576_1bbde688.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Tommy DeVito, quarterback of the New York Giants" class="wp-image-93088" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Tommy-DeVito-quarterback-of-the-New-York-Giants-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Tommy-DeVito-quarterback-of-the-New-York-Giants-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Tommy-DeVito-quarterback-of-the-New-York-Giants-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Tommy-DeVito-quarterback-of-the-New-York-Giants-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Tommy-DeVito-quarterback-of-the-New-York-Giants.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Tommy DeVito, quarterback of the New York Giants</figcaption></figure>



“That I belong,” DeVito said. “In the NFL, specifically. I mean, just to go out and to prove that to myself. To the younger me, to the me that was training to be here to this point. That’s all it is.”



DeVito played mistake-free football, and while Taylor took his job, there’s no reason to think Daboll could turn back to him. In the meantime, he’ll just keep doing his job:



“I’m gonna continue to be a good teammate,” DeVito said of getting benched. “Obviously coach’s decision. I have no say in that but I’m gonna continue to be a good teammate, go out and compete and that’s it. ”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231219#BUS#93084"></div>


The Giants won’t have Daniel Jones on the field for at least half of next season, so it could make sense for them to keep him around. If not, multiple teams could do a lot worse in the backup QB category.
