Former Detroit Lions players C.J. Moore and Quintez Cephus have been reinstated to the NFL after serving one-year suspensions for violating the league's gambling policy. Both players were released by the Lions following their suspensions and are now free to sign with any team. The NFL has also reinstated three other players, including two who were previously on the Lions.
Despite being suspended for at least a year under the NFL's gambling policy and then cut by the Detroit Lions, safety C.J. Moore will keep his $1.4 million signing bonus. Moore received the first half of the amount, $700,000, just days before being suspended. The Lions will lose $1.4 million on the Moore contract, but they have now avoided paying him another $1.6 million he was guaranteed to make in 2023 and 2024.
The Detroit Lions have re-signed safety C.J. Moore to a contract extension through the 2024 season. Moore, who joined the team as an undrafted free agent in 2019, has played in 56 career games and has been a valuable contributor on special teams. In 2022, he recorded seven special teams tackles, five defensive tackles, and two rushes for 55 yards on fake punt attempts.
The Detroit Lions have re-signed C.J. Moore, a core special teamer, to a two-year deal worth $4.5 million, with $3 million guaranteed. Moore has been with the Lions for the past four years and played at least 200 snaps on teams in each season. He tested the free agency market but ultimately chose to return to Detroit because he believes in the team's potential under coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes.
