Andre Cisco is a veteran NFL safety known for his interception production at Syracuse and during his first four professional seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. On November 9, 2026, reports linked him to a move from the New York Jets to the Detroit Lions, giving fans a new reason to examine his career and statistics.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Jets were sending Cisco to Detroit for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick, according to a report citing ESPN. The trade was reported at the time of this update; readers should check the teams’ transaction announcements for its final status.
Destaques
Cisco is a safety who entered the NFL in 2021 after playing college football at Syracuse. Born in Queens, New York, he spent his first four NFL seasons in Jacksonville before joining the Jets in 2025. The reported Detroit trade would add a third NFL team to his résumé and gives Lions fans a chance to get familiar with a defender who has experience both starting and playing in a rotation.
Safeties are defensive backs whose responsibilities can include covering receivers, helping prevent deep passes and tackling ball carriers. Cisco’s career interception totals offer one way to understand his background, though those numbers alone do not capture every coverage assignment or tackle opportunity.
The NFL’s career statistics page lists Cisco with 79 regular-season games, eight interceptions, 26 passes defended, 2.5 sacks and one interception-return touchdown. That page’s 2026 row covers eight games, so those career figures are a snapshot and may not yet reflect his most recent game.
His interceptions are concentrated in three seasons with Jacksonville:
| Regular season | Team | Games | Interceptions | Passes defended |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | Jacksonville Jaguars | 17 | 0 | 2 |
| 2022 | Jacksonville Jaguars | 15 | 3 | 10 |
| 2023 | Jacksonville Jaguars | 15 | 4 | 5 |
| 2024 | Jacksonville Jaguars | 16 | 1 | 7 |
| 2025 | New York Jets | 8 | 0 | 1 |
| 2026 snapshot | New York Jets | 8 | 0 | 1 |
His four interceptions in 2023 are his highest single-season total in the NFL’s listed record. In 2022, he returned one interception for a touchdown and had 10 passes defended. The figures above are regular-season statistics, not a combination of regular-season and playoff games.
Statistics from different sources can update on different schedules or use different tackle accounting. For that reason, the table uses one NFL source consistently and identifies the incomplete 2026 snapshot rather than presenting it as a final season total.
Cisco played three seasons at Syracuse. According to Syracuse’s player biography, he made 13 interceptions and 136 tackles in 24 games, starting 21 of them. He tied for the national lead with seven interceptions as a freshman in 2018 and earned ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.
He led the Atlantic Coast Conference in interceptions in each of his first two seasons, sharing the lead in 2018. A season-ending injury limited him to two games in 2020, after which he declared for the NFL draft. Jacksonville selected him with the first pick of the third round, as Syracuse’s draft announcement confirms.
Jacksonville used Cisco in all 17 games of his rookie season. He became a regular starter in 2022 and followed with his four-interception 2023 campaign. Across his four Jaguars seasons, the Jets’ team account credits him with 63 games, 47 starts and eight interceptions.
Cisco signed with the Jets in 2025, returning to the New York area. His first season there ended when he suffered a pectoral injury in Week 8. The Jets said he had played all but one defensive snap before the injury and recorded 41 tackles in those eight games. They re-signed him in March 2026.
If the reported deal is completed, Cisco will continue his career in Detroit after appearing for the Jets during the 2026 season. His past starting experience and turnover production provide useful context, but his future playing time and responsibilities depend on the Lions’ decisions and his availability. The reported trade terms and the NFL statistics snapshot can also change as official records are updated.
