Giants Waive Tommy DeVito, Patriots Claim QB

Tommy DeVito's journey with the Giants was a classic underdog story. Signed as an undrafted free agent, the New Jersey native unexpectedly became a fan favorite when injuries thrust him into the starting role. His success, combined with his 'Tommy Cutlets' persona, created a memorable moment for Giants fans. However, with the Giants acquiring Russell Wilson and drafting Jaxson Dart, DeVito became expendable.

The Patriots' decision to claim DeVito offers him a fresh start. He will compete with Joshua Dobbs to be the primary backup to Drake Maye. His performance in the preseason finale against the Patriots likely played a role in their decision.

In other NFL news, Rashee Rice of the Kansas City Chiefs has reportedly accepted a six-game suspension. This comes after Rice was sentenced in July to 30 days in jail and five years' probation for his part in a crash, where he was driving 119 mph just before the crash occurred, according to a police report.

Additionally, Adam Thielen is returning to the Vikings after two seasons with the Panthers. The Baltimore Ravens extended Kyle Hamilton, making him the highest-paid safety in the NFL. De'Von Achane is expected to be ready for Week 1 for the Miami Dolphins.
