Detroit Lions waive TE Jackson Meeks as part of Andre Cisco trade

In its corresponding move with the Andre Cisco trade, the Detroit Lions waived tight end Jackson Meeks.

Meeks signed with the Lions out of Syracuse as an undrafted free agent in 2025. The 6-foot-2, 235-pounder began his career as a wide receiver, but he made the position switch to tight end this offseason. Meeks appeared in two games last season, and has played in four games thus far this season with one catch for eight yards.

Meeks made the initial 53-man roster after a great offseason and training camp.

Across his college career at Georgia and Syracuse from 2021-24, Meeks caught 88 passes for 1,153 yards and seven touchdowns. The bulk of that production came at Syracuse in 2024, when he reeled in 78 catches for 1,021 yards and seven scores.

Originally a third-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars out of Syracuse, Cisco has appeared in 80 games and started 59 across his NFL career. Cisco, 26, has played in nine games with the Jets this season, but he lost his starting job to Dane Belton in the preseason.

The 6-foot, 210-pound safety is a six-year pro that has registered 293 tackles, 26 passes defensed, eight interceptions, six tackles for loss, four forced fumbles, four quarterback hits, 2.5 sacks, one fumble recovery. Cisco has returned one interception for a touchdown.
