New York Giants Gossip
It’s chaos behind the blue curtain, and the New York Giants are at the heart of the NFL’s juiciest August drama. As the roster deadline hit, fans were left reeling by the abrupt exit of local legend Tommy “Cutlets” DeVito, the quarterback who revived Big Blue’s spirit last year—waived without ceremony after dazzling in the preseason finale with a three-touchdown performance. Whispers already swirl about what really happened. Did DeVito’s memorable swan song and New Jersey roots buy him loyalty in the locker room, or were rising franchise hopes in rookie Jaxson Dart and ten-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson too tempting for coaches to resist? Multiple insiders claim DeVito had been quietly shopped for trade, but not a single team pulled the trigger—a surprise given the buzz he generated with fans and teammates alike.
That’s only the beginning. Sources close to the staff hint at mounting tension among the quarterback quartet even before the cuts, especially after new arrivals Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston threatened the old pecking order. “It’s been a power play since mini-camp,” confides one anonymous staffer. “Nobody was really friends in that room—not after Wilson came in with a Super Bowl ring and Winston wanted a shot to start. You could feel the eyes on Dart every time he took a snap. There are guys in the locker room who think Dart is being handed the job.”
Meanwhile, rumors of locker room fractures have spread beyond the QB group. After the cut of veteran safety K’Von Wallace—another fan favorite—players reportedly questioned whether the coaching staff’s “shrewdness” is crossing the line into ruthlessness. One anonymous player says, “A couple of us don’t know who’s safe anymore. It’s like everyone’s got a target on their back. Feels like you never know who’s next.”
The front office is keeping quiet, but speculation runs rampant about a possible incoming trade to fill the safety void—a move that could shake an already unstable locker room. Giants insiders say the staff is “actively working the phones,” hunting for someone to fill the roster gap before Week 1. As for DeVito, some believe he may yet return to the practice squad, but others whisper that he’s already fielding calls from rival teams hungry for his underdog energy. Could his release be the motivation he needs to betray Big Blue and join an NFC rival?
And with all eyes now on Dart, sources say coaches are divided over whether to make a gutsy switch if Wilson’s arm doesn’t look sharp in the opener. One league executive offered, “If Dart has another crazy week in practice, don’t be shocked if Daboll pulls a fast one and hands him the keys by October.”
The drama, rumors, and raw nerves inside Giants HQ are the talk of the league—but will it ignite a surprise turnaround, or set the stage for another season of heartbreak? What fan-favorite will be next to walk the plank, and could a blockbuster trade be closer than anyone thinks? Stay tuned—because anything can happen next, and tomorrow’s headlines may shake Giants Nation to its core.
