Webb has retired from the NFL and was hired as the quarterbacks coach for the Broncos on Saturday, Andrew Crane of the New York Post reports.
Webb was a third-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft and made the lone start of his career in Week 18 of the 2022 season. He performed admirably, but even so, he's decided to retire at the age of 28.

Davis Webb: Shifts back to practice squad
Rotowire
Webb reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Webb stepped in as the Giants' starting quarterback Week 18 with top signal-caller Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor both active but not participating. As a result, the 6-foot-5 Webb went 23-for-40 passing for 168 yards and a touchdown as well as six rushes for 41 yards and a score on the ground. Webb also handled all 63 of the team's offensive snaps while making the second appearance of his career. Expect the 27-year-old to serve as the Giants' next best option at quarterback if either Jones or Taylor sustain an injury during the team's upcoming playoff appearance.

Giants' Davis Webb: Produces two TDs in first start
Rotowire
Webb completed 23 of 40 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown while adding 41 rushing yards and a TD on six carries in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.
Making his first career NFL start with the Giants sitting most of their starters in a season finale that had little on the line for them, Webb didn't have much luck stretching the field as only one of his completions went for more than 16 yards, but that one was a 25-yard score to Kenny Golladay in the fourth quarter. With Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor both free agents in the offseason, it's possible Webb could return and have a bigger role for the Giants in 2023, but more likely he'll be looking for a depth role again next season.

Giants' Davis Webb: On tap for Week 18 start
Rotowire
Webb, who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, is expected to serve as the Giants' starting quarterback in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
With the Giants locked in as the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoffs, the Giants won't take any chances with top signal-caller Daniel Jones, who is expected to be inactive for the contest. Though Tyrod Taylor has served as Jones' top backup all season, the Giants plan to keep him in the No. 2 role once again in Week 18, setting up Webb to make the second appearance of his NFL career. Over his three outings in the preseason with New York, Webb completed 60 of 81 pass attempts for 457 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions while carrying five times for 12 yards.

Davis Webb: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
Webb reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Webb was on hand in case disaster struck at quarterback for the Giants in the big Week 15 game against Washington. Both Daniel Jones and backup Tyrod Taylor made it out of the 20-12 win unscathed, so Webb's services weren't necessary.

Giants' Davis Webb: Bumps up from practice squad
Rotowire
Webb was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.
Webb has not seen the field in 2022. With Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor both healthy, it is unlikely Webb gets any game action and will instead provide insurance in case of injury.

Giants' Davis Webb: Elevated as expected
Rotowire
The Giants elevated Webb on Saturday from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Daniel Jones has been cleared to play despite an ankle injury, but Tyrod Taylor (concussion) has been ruled out, so as expected, Webb will get the elevation and serve as the primary backup to the aforementioned Jones. Webb was selected in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, but he's appeared in just one NFL contest and has yet to attempt a pass.

Davis Webb: In line to serve as backup
Rotowire
Webb will likely be elevated from the Giants' practice squad to serve as the No. 2 quarterback for Sunday's game against the Packers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Although Daniel Jones will be available for Sunday's matchup in London, Tyrod Taylor (concussion) has been ruled out. As a result, Webb should be called up to serve as the Giants' backup quarterback. The 2017 third-rounder hasn't yet attempted a pass during the regular season in the NFL.

Davis Webb: Could be pressed into action for NY
Rotowire
Webb could be asked to either start or work as a backup for the Giants in their Week 5 contest against Green Bay in London with the status of both Daniel Jones (ankle) and Tyrod Taylor (concussion) currently unclear, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Though Jones was able to re-enter Sunday's win over Chicago after hurting his ankle in the third quarter, he didn't throw another pass, initially ceding snaps to Saquon Barkley out of the wildcat and subsequently handing off the ball to run out the clock. He likely wouldn't have been in the game at all if not for Taylor's injury, which was later confirmed to be a concussion. Taylor's ability to play in London next weekend is in considerable doubt given his diagnoses, and it's possible that Jones is suffering from a high-ankle sprain, though the injury has yet to be fully diagnosed, per Raanan . As such, there's a definite possibility of Webb being called up from the practice squad and potentially throwing his first NFL pass against the Packers next Sunday.

Davis Webb: Headed to practice squad
Rotowire
The Giants signed Webb to the practice squad Wednesday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.
Webb will return to New York via the practice squad after being released as part of the team's final roster cuts Tuesday. The 27-year-old signal-caller registered an impressive preseason campaign with the Giants, and it's possible that he could still land on another team's active roster this regular season. For now, Webb should serve as the Giants' emergency backup if quarterbacks Daniel Jones or Tyrod Taylor (back) are unable to suit up on any gamedays this regular season.

Giants' Davis Webb: Impressive in extended action
Rotowire
Webb completed 30 of 38 pass attempts for 202 yards and one touchdown without an interception in Sunday's preseason win over Cincinnati. He added four carries for 13 yards on the ground.
Starter Daniel Jones didn't play in the contest, and backup Tyrod Taylor exited with a back injury near the end of the first quarter. As a result, Webb played the remainder of the game, and he seized the opportunity, connecting with 13 different receivers for 202 yards. His lone touchdown came on an 18-yard hookup with tight end Austin Allen in the fourth quarter. Webb already had a good chance of making the 53-man roster as the Giants' third quarterback, and his strong play over the past two weeks along with Taylor's injury make that scenario even more of a likelihood.

Giants' Davis Webb: Shines Sunday against Bengals
Rotowire
Webb completed 22 of 27 pass attempts for 204 yards and two touchdowns without committing a turnover in Sunday's 25-22 preseason win over Cincinnati.
The New York passing game was very effective in the contest, as Webb, Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor combined to complete 43 of 54 passes for 356 yards. Webb had the most attempts, completions and yards of the trio, and he threw for the team's only two passing touchdowns. The 27-year-old connected with Alex Bachman twice for scores, including a 15-yard connection with 35 seconds remaining in the contest that pulled New York ahead for good. Jones and Taylor are locked into the No. 1 and 2 QB roles, respectively, but there's a good chance that the Giants will carry three signal-callers, allowing Webb to make the 53-man roster.

Bills' Davis Webb: Strong showing Friday
Rotowire
Webb completed 11 of 16 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown and a 103.6 rating in Friday's preseason win over the Lions. He did not throw an interception and ran two times for 26 yards.
Look out Josh Allen, Webb is coming for your job! Kidding aside, Webb is in a tight competition for the No. 3 role (if the Bills elect to keep three quarterbacks) with second-year man Jake Fromm, who was less effective than Webb on Friday with a 74.2 rating while throwing no TD passes and taking two sacks.

Webb shuffled between active roster and practice squad all season but never took a regular-season snap. It's the second-straight season that Webb has signed a reserve/future contract with the Bills.

Davis Webb: Waived by Buffalo
Rotowire
Webb was waived by the Bills on Saturday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
It seems likely Webb will wind up on the Bills' practice squad in the near future, although it's a frustrating conclusion to an offseason in which the 2017 third-round pick hoped to compete for the backup job. Matt Barkley and Jake Fromm both made it onto the 53-man roster, so even were starter Josh Allen to go down with an injury, don't expect Webb to make a significant jump up the depth chart.

Webb signed a reserve/future deal with the Bills on Monday.
Webb was the Giants' third-round pick in 2017, but he only spent one season with the team and never touched the field as a backup to Eli Manning. The 24-year-old will compete for the backup job in Buffalo in 2020. Whether Matt Barkley -- the current backup to Josh Allen -- is still around remains to be seen, as Barkley will be an unrestricted free agent in March.

Jets' Davis Webb: Tendered by Jets
Rotowire
Webb, an exclusive-rights free agent, has been tendered by the Jets, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.
With Josh McCown set to become an unrestricted free agent, it appears Webb will enter the offseason as the tentative backup to Sam Darnold. It's possible that could change depending on what the Jets do in the draft and free agency.
