Lions reportedly trading 2028 sixth-round pick to Jets for safety Andre Cisco

The Detroit Lions are trading a 2028 sixth-round draft pick to the New York Jets for safety Andre Cisco, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reported on Nov. 9, citing a source who confirmed the transaction to the newspaper. ESPN’s Adam Schefter also reported the trade and the same compensation.

Cisco is on an expiring contract, Schefter reported. Silva described it as a one-year deal and reported that Cisco re-signed with the Jets during the preceding offseason for $2.5 million.

Through nine appearances for New York this season, including four starts, Cisco had 23 tackles, two tackles for loss and a forced fumble across 191 defensive snaps, according to Silva’s report.

The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted Cisco out of Syracuse in the third round in 2021, Silva reported. His experience this season also extends across four special-teams units: 35 snaps on kickoff return, 35 on punt coverage, 33 on kickoff coverage and 26 on punt return.
