The New York Jets have re-signed safety Andre Cisco to a one-year, $5.25 million contract, continuing their offseason overhaul of the defensive backfield. Cisco, who grew up in the New York City area, returns to the Jets after a disappointing 2024 season that was cut short by a pectoral injury.

Cisco started the 2024 season as the Jets' opening-day safety but played only eight games before suffering a season-ending injury. The Jets became the first team in NFL history to go an entire season without an interception, highlighting their need for playmakers in the secondary. Cisco's previous contract with the Jets was worth $8.5 million for one year.

The 25-year-old safety has shown promise in his career, recording at least eight interceptions and one defensive touchdown when lined up as a high safety. Despite coming off two down years, Cisco's potential and local roots make him an intriguing reclamation project for the Jets' revamped secondary.
