The New York Giants and beloved New Jersey native Tommy DeVito are said to be nearing a new deal, although it’s unclear how far along negotiations are at this moment.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo and others reported DeVito, 26, has agreed to sign his exclusive rights tender ahead of the league’s open free agency – a deal that would pay him around $1 million in 2025.
DailyMail.com was able to confirm that agreement with one league source. However, when contacted by DailyMail.com, DeVito’s agent Sean Stellato contradicted those reports. Stellato wasn’t ruling out a return to the Giants for DeVito, but cautioned that nothing has been finalized.
Although the former Syracuse and Illinois product does have experience, appearing in a dozen games over his first two seasons with mixed results, DeVito is unlikely to head into 2025 as Big Blue’s starting quarterback.
That honor may fall to erstwhile Jets star Aaron Rodgers, who is expected by many to ink a free-agent deal with the Giants when the signing period begins. As NorthJersey.com’s Art Stapleton reported, the Giants are interested in bringing Rodgers on board, although no firm decision has been made.
DailyMail.com has since confirmed that Rodgers is ‘certainly’ part of the team’s quarterback considerations.
