New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen admitted the team would have “loved” to have Tommy DeVito back, but the New England Patriots<\/a> claimed the quarterback on waivers before the Giants could stash him on their practice squad.<\/p>\n

DeVito has played in 12 games with eight starts for the Giants. That kind of experience is invaluable for a football team, and it’s understandable why Schoen would have wanted him back.<\/p>\n

“We’re happy for Tommy. He was claimed by New England. …We would have loved to have him back, but he was claimed. We wish him nothing but the best,” said Schoen.<\/p>\n

The addition of DeVito to the quarterback room gives the Patriots another experienced option behind Drake Maye and Josh Dobbs.<\/p>\n

He obviously impressed the team after he lit up their backup defense in the preseason finale. All told, DeVito finished the game going 17-of-20 passing for 198 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n

One has to wonder if DeVito could potentially push Dobbs for the top backup job in New England. The veteran struggled during the preseason, and it isn’t a stretch to think DeVito ends up being the team’s best backup option in an emergency situation.<\/p>\n
