What happened: The Jacksonville Jaguars made multiple roster moves ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, dealing safety Andre Cisco to the Detroit Lions for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick. Jacksonville previously acquired secondary reinforcements from the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. Detroit secures immediate secondary help as both franchises position for the second half of the season.
Why it matters: Jacksonville sits at 6-2 and holds the AFC's No. 3 seed, prompting aggressive roster moves to maintain momentum for a playoff push. Detroit enters Week 10 at 6-2 on a four-game winning streak and occupies the NFC's No. 6 seed. The transactions allow Jacksonville to retool its secondary while Detroit addresses pass-coverage depth down the stretch.
By the numbers: Cisco recorded 23 tackles and one sack across nine games for Jacksonville in 2026 before the trade. Detroit carries a four-game winning streak into Week 10 at 6-2, holding the NFC's sixth seed, while Jacksonville sits at 6-2 as the AFC's third seed.
What to watch: The NFL trade deadline closes Tuesday afternoon as front offices finalize rosters for the postseason push. Both clubs now integrate their new defensive personnel ahead of Week 11 matchups.
