The Buffalo Bills agreed to a deal with wide receiver Quintez Cephus, who was reinstated by the NFL on April 18 following his year-long suspension, Cephus’ agency said. The agency, SportsTrust Advisors, did not provide any contract details.
Last April, Cephus was among five players suspended for violating the NFL’s gambling policy, including then-Lions safety C.J. Moore and current Lions receiver Jameson Williams. The players received various suspension lengths, with Cephus’ being indefinite.
Upon being reinstated, Cephus was free to sign with a team.

Cephus, a 2020 fifth-round pick, had not secured a post on the Lions’ roster before his suspension. He’d been in and out of the lineup with injuries and was viewed as a player on the roster bubble heading into the 2023 season.
In three seasons in Detroit, Cephus tallied 37 receptions for 568 yards and four touchdowns.
