Continuing to address a 2025 weakness, the New York Jets<\/a> agreed to terms with safety Andre Cisco<\/a> on a one-year deal, a source confirmed Friday.<\/p>\n

The contract has a base value of $2.5 million and can reach $5.25 million with incentives, a source said.<\/p>\n

Cisco was the Jets’ opening-day starter last season, but he played only eight games due to a season-ending pectoral injury.<\/p>\n

To fortify the position, the Jets traded for former Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick<\/a> and signed former New York Giants<\/a> safety Dane Belton<\/a> earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Former starter Tony Adams<\/a> signed with the Tennessee Titans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>, Cisco signed a one-year, $8.5 million contract last year with the Jets, who were looking for a playmaker at safety. They didn’t get much production out of Cisco, who got his hands on only one pass — a breakup, not an interception. The Jets became the first team in history to go an entire season without an interception.<\/p>\n

Cisco’s homecoming — he grew up in the New York City area and rooted for the Jets as a kid — turned sour and lasted only eight games. In the eighth game, he tore a pectoral muscle, which required season-ending surgery. He said he’s fully recovered and ready for the offseason program.<\/p>\n

Though he’s coming off two down years, Cisco did show promise during his early seasons with the Jaguars, who drafted him in the third round in 2021. When lined up as a high safety, he’s one of six players in the league with at least eight interceptions and one defensive touchdown.<\/p>\n

For his career, Cisco, 25, has appeared in 71 games (55 starts).<\/p>\n
