"NFL suspensions and gambling controversies rock Detroit Lions"

The suspensions of four Detroit Lions players for gambling violations will result in monetary penalties and changes to their contracts. Jameson Williams will lose $382,906 in game checks and $6.9 million in guarantees, while Stanley Berryhill will lose $290,000 in game checks if he makes the 53-man roster. The Lions could incur a $700,000 cap hit in each of the next two seasons for releasing C.J. Moore, and a $76,073 cap hit for releasing Quintez Cephus. The penalties will impact the players and the guaranteed portions of their contracts, resulting in minimal impact on the Lions' overall salary cap.
