The Baltimore Ravens released Justin Tucker, the NFL's most accurate kicker, due to ongoing investigations into alleged sexual misconduct. Ravens GM Eric DeCosta described the decision as difficult, reflecting on Tucker's significant contributions to the team over his decade-long career. Notably, this decision follows the draft pick of a kicker for the first time in Ravens' history. Tucker is facing serious allegations from multiple massage therapists at various high-end spas in Baltimore, prompting this unexpected move by the organization, which had previously indicated they would await the NFL's findings before acting.
"Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult, and this is one of those instances. Considering our current roster, we have made the tough decision to release Justin Tucker," Ravens GM Eric DeCosta stated.
"Justin created many significant and unforgettable moments in Ravens history. His reliability, focus, drive, resilience and extraordinary talent made him one of the league's best kickers for over a decade," DeCosta reflected.
"This move comes less than two months after team president Sashi Brown stated the Ravens would wait on making a decision on Tucker until the NFL finished its investigation."
"Tucker, 35, has been accused of misconduct by 16 massage therapists from eight different high-end spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area, according to the Baltimore Banner."
