Tommy DeVito is among the quarterbacks looking for a new team.
The New York Giants waived the local fan favorite on Tuesday as teams released more than 1,100 players before the deadline to trim rosters down to 53.
Elsewhere, Kyle Trask lost his job as Baker Mayfield’s backup in Tampa Bay after the team chose veteran Teddy Bridgewater to hold the No. 2 position. Tyler Huntley didn’t make the cut in Cleveland. The veteran QB joined the Browns earlier this month as the fifth QB behind veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Pickett was traded to Las Vegas on Monday.
Desmond Ridder, who is 8-10 in his career as a starter, was cut by the Cincinnati Bengals. The Dallas Cowboys waived Will Grier.
The Atlanta Falcons released quarterback Easton Stick, the team’s starter through the preseason as coach Raheem Morris protected starter Michael Penix Jr. and veteran backup Kirk Cousins. The release of Stick and Ben DiNucci temporarily leaves the team with only Penix and Cousins at the position.
Trevor Siemian, who is 15-18 in seven seasons, was cut by the Tennessee Titans, leaving Brandon Allen to back up No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward.
Rookie sixth-round pick Kyle McCord didn’t make Philadelphia’s initial roster. The quarterback out of Syracuse is a candidate for the practice squad if another team doesn’t sign him. The defending Super Bowl champions acquired Sam Howell to back up Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee.
Quarterback Max Brosmer was among seven undrafted free agents to make the initial roster for the Vikings, who signed veteran Carson Wentz earlier in the week to help back up J.J. McCarthy.
DeVito, an undrafted free agent and a northern New Jersey native who picked up the nickname “Tommy Cutlets,” was not expected to make the team after the signings of veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and selection of Jaxson Dart in the first round.
The Pittsburgh Steelers released wideout Robert Woods, who has 863 receptions. Diontae Johnson (Browns), KJ Hamler (Bills) and Mecole Hardman (Packers) are among the wide receivers who were let go.
Packers notes:
Green Bay retained all eight of its draft picks from the 2025 NFL Draft, though two — defensive lineman Collin Oliver (hamstring) and offensive lineman John Williams (back) — will start the season on the physically unable to perform list. … Bo Melton made the Packers’ 53 after making a mid-offseason transition from receiver to cornerback. … Former Georgia defensive lineman Nazir Stackhouse made the initial 53-man roster, positioning the Packers to push their streak of carrying at least one undrafted rookie on their Week 1 roster to 21 consecutive years. The 6-foot-4, 327-pound defensive lineman had four tackles and a pass breakup in the preseason.
