Jets trade safety Andre Cisco to Lions for 2028 draft pick

The New York Jets have traded safety Andre Cisco to the Detroit Lions in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2028 NFL Draft, according to reports from Yahoo Sports and ESPN.

Cisco, who is in his second season with the Jets after four years with Jacksonville, has played a supporting role this season, starting four games and recording 23 tackles and a forced fumble.

The Detroit Lions acquired Cisco to bolster their secondary, which includes safeties Brian Branch, who recently returned to the starting lineup, and Kerby Joseph, who is nearing a return to the field.

This trade marks the Lions' first move ahead of the NFL trade deadline and adds depth to their safety position as they prepare for the remainder of the season.
