Lions Acquire Jets Safety Andre Cisco
33 sourcesUpdated Nov 10, 20261 min read
The Detroit Lions acquired safety Andre Cisco from the New York Jets for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick, adding depth to a secondary weakened by injuries and struggling against the pass. Cisco, 26, has appeared in nine games this season, starting four and recording 23 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble; his role had diminished in New York, and his contract is expiring. The 2-7 Jets receive a future pick as they make moves ahead of the trade deadline. Cisco previously played four seasons for Jacksonville and joins a 6-2 Lions safety group that includes recently returned Brian Branch and injured Kerby Joseph.

Jets clearly saw no future with him and moved on before the contract year ends.
Cisco only played nine games so far, which makes this a low-stakes gamble for Detroit.
The Lions got a solid depth piece for basically nothing with that distant sixth-rounder.
