Detroit Lions quietly changed terms to Andre Cisco trade

The Detroit Lions made a trade for safety Andre Cisco from the New York Jets before the NFL deadline on Tuesday, Nov. 10, but the terms of the deal were quietly altered. Initially reported as acquiring Cisco for a 2028 sixth-round pick, it was later clarified that the Lions received him in exchange for a 2029 pick instead. Despite the minor change, experts view it as providing even greater value for the Lions, allowing them to bolster their secondary without sacrificing future draft capital.

Changes to trade terms are uncommon but not unheard of, and sometimes, trades are entirely withdrawn, as seen with the Eagles-Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie deal. Additionally, the Lions' offseason trade for linebacker Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens was ultimately rescinded due to health concerns. The Lions will face the New England Patriots in a Sunday game in Munich, Germany, at 9:30 a.m. on Fox.
