From @NFLGameDay: Come for the info on Tommy DeVito choosing the #Giants over offers from the #Commanders and #Patriots along the way. Stay for the review of the Tommy DeVito chicken parm with vodka sauce special.

*****

Says Commanders offered "significantly more" guaranteed money after the Draft. Patriots tried to sign him to their PS after the Giants cut him.

was on the PS most of the season. If either wanted him couldn't they have just signed him to their active roster?

That chicken parm looks great!

Devito is the man with Giants in his heart.

Now don't hold the ball so long...throw it away ala Phil Simms used to do.

Sure, but the Patriots didn't want him on their active roster; they wanted him on their PS.

he will never say this

but Im sure on a practice squad salary, living at home rent free was the reason he went with the Giants.

No, they can offer him a contract, but he does not have to sign it. He can decide to stay where he is.

Obviously, not that badly

They could have drafted him.

They should have made him an offer....

MOOPS : 11/26/2023 1:55 pm : link

he couldn't refuse.
