The only trade the Detroit Lions made before the NFL deadline quietly had a change in its terms.
On the official transaction wire released after the flurry of activity Tuesday, Nov. 10, it was noted the Lions acquired safety Andre Cisco from the New York Jets for a 2029 sixth-round pick − not the 2028 pick as was originally reported by the team.

Ultimately, it doesn’t change much, but it can be seen as even better value for the Lions to get secondary help without giving up a pick in the next two drafts.
Changes to terms are rare but not unprecedented, and sometimes, trades can be completely taken off the table. That was the case during the deadline activity Tuesday, as an agreed-upon deal between the Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals for edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie was withdrawn before it became official. And of course, there was the Maxx Crosby trade to the Baltimore Ravens in the offseason that was rescinded because of health concerns.
The Lions return to the field this Sunday in Munich, Germany, to take on the New England Patriots (9:30 a.m., Fox).
