New England Patriots backup quarterback Tommy DeVito is approaching restricted free agency this offseason.
New England took a flier on DeVito on August 27, 2025, after he was released by the New York Giants. The 27-year-old was a spark plug for the Giants in his two seasons with the team from 2023-24.
He did not take the field for the Patriots in 2025, as he was behind AP NFL MVP runner-up Drake Maye, as well as backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs on the Patriots’ depth chart. However, DeVito will have the opportunity to field offers from any of the other 31 teams in the NFL in free agency.
The Patriots will be able to match any offer sheet that DeVito signs with another team in the open market.
DeVito last signed a one-year, $1.03 million deal with the Giants in 2025. Teams’ last sample size of DeVito’s play on the field comes from the 2024 season, where the New Jersey native completed 70.5 percent of his passes for 257 passing yards in three games played, two of which he started, for the Giants.
