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.

This signing grades out as a reasonable signing for the New York Jets — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Andre's on-field performance ranks in the upper half among NFL DBs, grading him as a solid starter at the position. His $2.5M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the DB market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — solid starter output at a below-market price point represents solid asset management. Andre is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
