Cisco will be working to build off last year with the help of a revamped secondary that features newcomers S Minkah Fitzpatrick, CB Nahshon Wright and S Dane Belton. Fitzpatrick, a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, was acquired by the Jets via a trade with the Dolphins. Wright -- who led the league in takeaways as a member of the Chicago Bears in 2025 -- and Belton both signed with the Jets as free agents.
"I'm excited," Cisco said of the group, which also features second-year Malachi Moore and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. "I know those guys and their games well. So, I think that this group will kind of rally around that experience."
That experienced group is also likely to benefit from the mentorship of HC Aaron Glenn, who will be calling defensive plays in 2026.
"AG -- he gets it," Cisco said. "Being a guy that played for this organization but also had a lot of success in this league as a player and a defensive back. So, I think for myself, I'm just excited to continue to learn from him. He taught me a lot last year just about the position, about leadership. I think everybody can learn a tidbit and just embrace their role. AG is definitely the right leader."
Under Glenn's leadership, Cisco enters 2026 looking for consistency as he aims to carve out his role in the defensive backfield.
"Just showing up each and every day and being able to bring it to game day," Cisco said of his goals. "Just kind of embracing the scheme we'll be running. As long as I play my role, I think I'll help the team."
