The 2026 NFL trade deadline has come and gone.
The Detroit Lions made just the one move, dealing for backup New York Jets safety Andre Cisco on Monday. The Lions initially reported the compensation package as a 2028 sixth-round pick.
But, according to Tuesday's transaction wire, the terms of the deal were altered slightly. The Lions are sending a 2029 sixth-round pick instead of the 2028 sixth-rounder.

Instead of receiving a 2028 6th-round pick, the Jets will now receive a 2029 6th-round pick.
Originally a third-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars out of Syracuse, Cisco has appeared in 80 games and started 59 across his NFL career. Cisco, 26, has played
in nine games with the Jets this season, but he lost his starting job to Dane Belton in the preseason.
The 6-foot, 210-pound safety is a six-year pro that has registered 293 tackles, 26 passes defensed, eight interceptions, six tackles for loss, four forced fumbles, four quarterback hits, 2.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery. Cisco has returned one interception for a touchdown.
The Lions' secondary has been a clear area of need throughout the 2026 NFL season. Detroit ranks last in the NFL in passing defense, surrendering 260.9 passing yards per game. The Lions have shown improvement on the back end, limiting the Dolphins to 151 passing yards this past week and the Vikings to 185 passing yards the week beforehand.
Minnesota and Miami rank 27th and 31st in scoring offense, though. Still, Detroit has shown defensive improvement across its past four games, surrendering an average of just 15.5 points per game. That's a far cry from the 31.8 points per game the Lions were allowing over the season's first four games.
