He signed a four-year rookie deal worth $3,599,288 that included a signing bonus of $304,288. He was entering the final year of that deal when he was suspended indefinitely by the NFL for gambling and released by the Lions.
In 2022, Cephus appeared in four games for the Lions and caught two passes for 15 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
