Detroit Lions swing trade for safety Andre Cisco
Detroit Free Press • • sports
Key Points:
- The Detroit Lions traded a 2028 sixth-round pick to the New York Jets for safety Andre Cisco, aiming to bolster their secondary.
- Cisco, who has started 59 NFL games since being drafted in 2021, has played a supporting role this season with 23 tackles and a forced fumble, and is on an expiring contract.
- Cisco joins a potentially crowded Lions safety group with Brian Branch recently returning to the starting lineup and Kerby Joseph nearing a return.
- Other NFC contenders also made significant trades ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline, including the Bears acquiring Jeffery Simmons, the Seahawks obtaining Quenton Nelson, and the 49ers trading for DeForest Buckner.
- Lions GM Brad Holmes has a history of being active at trade deadlines throughout his tenure in Detroit.
