Jets sign Davis Webb after shocking Giants release

Davis Webb won’t be going far for his next job.

The Jets are signing the former Giants quarterback to their practice squad, according to a source. The Giants surprisingly cut Webb on Sunday, choosing to keep rookie Kyle Lauletta and Alex Tanney as Eli Manning’s backup.

Webb was a third-round pick of the Giants in 2017 out of California. He has not played a snap in a regular-season game.

The 23-year-old looked like he might get a chance at the end of last year, when then-Giants coach Ben McAdoo benched Manning for Geno Smith.
