Jets dealing Andre Cisco to Lions ahead of NFL trade deadline

The New York Jets are trading safety Andre Cisco to the Detroit Lions ahead of the NFL trade deadline, receiving a 2028 sixth-round draft pick. The move begins the Jets’ deadline activity, though the team is not expected to repeat last year’s major sell-off.

Cisco, 26, is in the final year of his contract and had seen his playing time fall; he was benched in Sunday’s loss to Kansas City in favour of Malachi Moore. The Jets are 2-7, and head coach Aaron Glenn had said he expected the team to stand pat. Last year, New York traded Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams for substantial returns.
