Overview
- The New York Jets sent safety Andre Cisco to the Detroit Lions for a 2028 sixth-round pick, sources told ESPN Monday.
- Cisco is on an expiring one-year deal, making him a rental addition for Detroit and a chance for the Jets to get value before he reaches free agency.
- New York will realize about $1.75 million in salary-cap savings from the move while absorbing roughly $500,000 in dead money, according to reporting.
- Cisco appeared in nine games this season with four starts and logged 23 tackles, and he had seen his defensive snaps reduced and was benched after Week 9.
- The Lions made the pickup to add experienced depth to a secondary hit by injuries and uncertainty at safety, and the move could affect Detroit’s rotation if Kerby Joseph or other injured players return.
