00:00The Giants are coming off of their bye this week.

00:06And with everybody back in the building today, there was plenty of news that they did make.

00:11The Daniel Jones era in New York is seemingly finished.

00:16It does not look like you will see any more of him.

00:18He is being benched.

00:21But interestingly, and this has caused a bit of a stir in the New York area today, Cam,

00:26is that it is not the guy who has been the primary backup, the guy who they spent five

00:30million bucks on this year to be the backup, Drew Locke.

00:33Instead, it will be Tommy Cutlets, Tommy DeVito, who last year became like a cult hero amongst

00:40Giant fans in a miserable season with how well that he played.

00:44He will get to start Sunday at home against Tampa.

00:47Now, we obviously see what's going on here, Cam.

00:51The story came out last week during their bye week.

00:54If Daniel Jones gets hurt between now and the end of the season, and he's hurt on March

00:591st, March 8th, whatever the year date is, they got to still pay him 25, 26 million bucks

01:07next year.

01:08Obviously, they're going to be able to get out of paying him and get him off the team,

01:14provided he is not injured before then.

01:17So this is like last year.

01:18We saw Denver do this with Russell Wilson.

01:21We've seen stuff like this in the past.

01:22So this guy's finished, Cam.

01:24He's not going to play anymore.

01:25I believe going to DeVito is squarely one thing.

01:30They need to keep the fans even slightly interested over the last seven games of the season.

01:38And I think the owner and the team itself saw how much people rallied around that kid

01:44last year.

01:46And I think they want him playing for that reason, because they want to give the fans

01:49something to be even somewhat excited about, because there's been nothing else to be excited

01:54about.

01:55You're absolutely right, Carver.

01:56You nailed it on the head.

01:57Everything you said.

01:58Big Italian community.

01:59I already got Johnny Roast Beef and the crew saying, hey, it's DeVito time with the Italian

02:02flag.

02:03His agent kind of looks like a sketchy bookie that you'd meet at a local hockey rink.

02:07He's got to clean.

02:08He's got to do a little bit better.

02:09I go, honest to God.

02:10Like, dude, I look at that guy and go, he's going to steal my wallet and watch.

02:14But I'm down with DeVito.

02:16They're going to show up this week.

02:18I like the points with the Giants.

02:19I think this is a good time to show up.

02:21I know Tampa Bay, one of those teams, I think the Giants are actually going to play well

02:24and try.

02:25I didn't know if the thing is Carver.

02:26You brought it up.

02:27Like, play too well.

02:28If you know what I mean, screw it up.

02:30But I'll take the points with the G-Men.

02:32I know they're better on the road than home, but that's the play for me with Tommy Cutlets.

02:39Yeah, that's actually the play for me too, because we saw this kid come in last year

02:45and he made some noise.

02:46And in fact, he actually prevented them from getting Drake May or Dane Daniels, the guys

02:53that they coveted so much in that offseason hard knock.

02:57So it is what it is.

03:00I guess they're grasping at whatever they can.

03:02But one thing is for sure, there'll be no more Daniel Jones there for the New York Giants

03:06for the rest of this season.
