Traverse City Cadillac, MI, November 9, 2026 —
The Detroit Lions have made a significant move ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline, acquiring safety Andre Cisco from the New York Jets. The transaction, confirmed today, sees the Lions bolstering their secondary in exchange for a future draft asset.
In return for Cisco, the Lions will send a 2028 sixth-round draft pick to the Jets. This trade signals Detroit’s intent to strengthen its roster as the team looks towards the latter part of the upcoming season. Andre Cisco, a safety, will join the Lions’ defensive unit. Specific details regarding the motivations behind the trade or the full scope of player evaluations were not immediately available. The timing of the acquisition, well in advance of the official trade deadline, suggests strategic planning by the Lions’ front office.
The New York Jets, by trading Cisco, are now in possession of an additional draft pick for the 2028 NFL Draft. The value of a sixth-round pick is typically considered to be lower than earlier selections, but it provides the team with an opportunity to add a young player to their roster in the future. Further details on any subsequent roster moves by either team following this transaction have not been disclosed.
