Overview
- A trade announced Monday sends 26-year-old safety Andre Cisco from the New York Jets to the Detroit Lions in exchange for a sixth-round pick now listed in 2029.
- The transaction’s compensation was revised after the initial report moved from a 2028 sixth-round pick to a 2029 sixth-round pick on the NFL transaction wire.
- Cisco is a six-year pro and a 2021 third-round pick who has appeared in about 80 NFL games with 59 starts and arrives in Detroit after losing a starting role in New York this season.
- The Lions made no other moves before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, choosing a low-cost, short-term addition rather than a broader roster overhaul.
- Detroit’s defense has struggled against the pass this season and the acquisition supplies immediate depth while starters recover from injuries that landed linebackers Jack Campbell and rookie Jimmy Rolder on injured reserve.
