Detroit to acquire safety Andre Cisco in trade with Jets
The teams’ different bye weeks could put Cisco in position to play 18 games this season.
Safety Andre Cisco is headed to Detroit, with the Lions sending the Jets a sixth-round selection in 2028 as compensation, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported. The 26-year-old’s contract runs through the current season.
The switch could give Cisco an opportunity to appear in 18 games this season. Detroit already had its bye in Week 6, whereas the Jets’ break is scheduled for Week 13.
Through nine appearances this year, Cisco has started four games. He has registered 23 total tackles, including two for loss, along with a forced fumble, a pass defensed and a sack.
Cisco entered the league as a third-round selection in 2021 and spent four seasons with the Jaguars to begin his career. His career record covers 80 games and 59 starts, with 26 passes defensed and eight interceptions. He also has six tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.
