NFL Exec: Tommy DeVito as QB1 over Drew Lock 'Made Less Sense Than Anything' in 2024

The New York Giants made the somewhat surprising move to promote Tommy DeVito and not Drew Lock to the starting quarterback position after demoting and eventually releasing Daniel Jones.

That move raised eyebrows around the NFL, seeing as the Giants paid Lock $5 million in the offseason to serve as the backup and then kept him in the No. 2 role for the entire season, while DeVito was inactive until this past Sunday as the No. 3 option.

"That move made less sense than anything that has happened in the league this season," one executive told Mike Sando of The Athletic.
