This move was inevitable to happen. The Giants did their best to keep their dreams of a franchise QB alive, especially after paying him 160m. Quarterback Daniel Jones who is in the second year of his 4-yr 160m contract, has been benched for the Week 12 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccanners and for the inevitable future.

Daniel Jones will not serve as Devito’s backup for the Bucs game as the team has announced that Drew Lock will back up Devito, if something were to happen. Daniel Jones has a 23m injury guarantee included in his contract so moving Jones to the QB3 spot, saves them from potentially having to pay that, if he we’re to get injured.

It could very well be the end of a era in New York as Joe Schonen, Giants general manager said any decision would be a ‘football decision’.

Tommy Devito who appeared in six games last season, went 3-3 with a 64.0 completion percentage through those six games. He also threw for eight touchdowns and threw 3 interceptions.

Now lots of people may be questioning, why choose Devito over Drew Lock, and it just comes down to one thing. Money. Drew Lock’s contract has big time incentives, which with the help of Spotrac, we get a full breakdown of it. This could very well be the reason that the Giants chose Devito over Lock as he could potentially make a upwards of 1.25m in incentives alone, if he we’re to play the rest of the season and ball out.

Devito now has a chance to show the Giants front office and the rest of the NFL world, that he’s the answer the Giants have been looking for all along. Devito will have seven opportunities to show the Giants front office that they don’t need a QB in April when the draft comes around. That they should build around Devito instead. It will be very interesting to see how Devito plays these next seven games, as he could potentially be auditioning for the starting QB spot.
