Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Jets secured solid value by locking up Andre Cisco at $2.5M AAV, a deal that earns a B- CVI and represents fair market pricing for a serviceable starter at safety. Cisco's production tier aligns well with his salary slot, as New York isn't paying premium money for elite coverage skills but rather investing appropriately in a dependable defensive back who can handle his assignments without breaking the bank. The one-year structure with $1.3M guaranteed gives both sides flexibility — the Jets can evaluate whether Cisco takes a developmental leap without long-term commitment, while the player gets a chance to prove he's worth a more lucrative extension. At his age, this contract positions Cisco perfectly to either cement his role in New York's secondary or use this season as a springboard to a bigger payday elsewhere. This move reflects smart roster building by the Jets, addressing a need at safety without overspending on the position, though they'll need Cisco to maximize his potential to make this deal look like a true bargain.

Performance Analysis

Andre Cisco grades at a C- for the Jets at safety, placing him as a serviceable but inconsistent presence in New York's secondary. Cisco has the range and athleticism to make plays on the back end, and when he is dialed in, he can be a playmaker. The problem is he takes too many bad angles and misses tackles that a starting safety simply cannot miss. The Jets defense has been built to compete, and Cisco is the type of player who helps some weeks and hurts others. He has the talent to be a solid starter, but the mental errors keep holding him back from reaching that level consistently.

Fan Sentiment

A below-average retention of a disappointing safety who failed to impress in his first Jets season. Multiple outlets noted the re-signing despite acknowledging it followed a rough debut campaign. The key red flag is that reporters explicitly questioned why the Jets brought him back at all. Fans are frustrated, seeing Cisco as a symptom of the Jets' chronic inability to upgrade the safety position. Cisco projects as a depth piece at best, unlikely to earn a starting role in 2025.
