The New York Jets continue to add firepower to their defensive secondary, adding 24-year old Andre Cisco to the backend of Aaron Glenn’s unit. After signing Brandon Stephens, and offering a right-to-first-refusal contract to Tony Adams, general manager Darren Mougey wasn’t done. Cisco comes to New York on a one year deal worth $10 million, per multiple reports. While the final details are still unknown, it appears the Jets are not looking for top of the market players at the position. This should not preclude them from adding to the position via the NFL Draft in late April.
During his tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the former Syracuse standout tallied 8 career interceptions and 24 pass deflections in 63 games (per ProFootballReference). Cisco has allowed a career completion percentage of 66.4% and has also allowed 15 TDs. He brings with him free safety traits, and his ability to take away the football will go a long way in helping this defense turn the corner. The Queens, NY native returns home to help new head coach Aaron Glenn achieve sustained success.
