Lions Acquire Jets Safety Andre Cisco

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.
