Detroit sends New York a 2028 sixth-round pick for a veteran who had fallen out of the Jets' starting lineup.
The Lions made their move ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, acquiring safety Andre Cisco from the Jets in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round pick, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Cisco, a third-round pick in the 2021 draft, spent his first four years with the Jacksonville Jaguars, appearing in 63 games and starting 47 of them. He joined the Jets in 2025 on a one-year, $8.5 million deal and started eight games for them that season. He re-signed with New York on a one-year, $2.5 million contract this offseason and opened 2026 as a starter, taking the first three games, before his role shrank.
For Detroit, it is a low-cost add to a secondary that needed depth, trading a late-round future pick for an experienced veteran who has plenty of starting snaps on his resume. For the Jets, it is a minor subtraction from a defense that has bigger storylines in play this week, with Cisco not being the player reportedly seeking a way out of New York.
