We have made the decision to part ways with Quintez and C.J. "These players exhibited decision making that is not consistent with our organizational values and violates league rules. "As a result of an NFL investigation, it came to our attention that a few of our players had violated the league's gambling policy," Lions general manager Brad Holmes said in a statement. Because the trio placed bets on NFL games during the 2022 season, the league said, those suspensions will last through at least this season. The players are eligible for reinstatement at the conclusion of the league year.ĭetroit released both Cephus and Moore shortly after the news broke. Moore – who also played for the Lions – and the Washington Commanders' Shaka Toney have been suspended indefinitely. Williams and fellow Lions receiver Stanley Berryhill will both sit the team's first six games of the upcoming season for betting from an NFL facility on non-NFL games. Among the group was Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams, a first-round pick in the 2022 draft from Alabama.

The NFL suspended five players Friday for violating the league's gambling policy.
