The Giants are turning to Tommy DeVito instead of Drew Lock with Daniel Jones’ Giants career likely over after being benched coming out of the team’s Week 11 bye.
The Post’s Paul Schwartz explained that the Giants are taking the long-term view with this move since Lock will almost certainly not be on the roster next season.
Lock will serve as DeVito’s backup, while Jones has been demoted to third string.
“Tommy DeVito will be an (exclusive) rights free agent in 2025 – he could be a backup or the bridge starter,” Schwartz posted on X. “Starting DeVito now is about finding that out.”
The Giants’ season is all but over at 2-8 and the franchise will likely use these next seven games determining who can be part of the 2025 team.
Lock signed a one-year, $5 million contract during the offseason that, in theory, set him up to replace Jones or fill in if he suffered an injury.
