Should Ravens release Justin Tucker after more accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior?
Ravens star kicker Justin Tucker is facing more allegations that could force the NFL and the organization to sideline the future Hall of Fame kicker.
Baltimore labels itself an organization with zero tolerance for off-field issues. GM Eric DeCosta has a significant decision to make regarding Tucker’s future.
According to the Baltimore Banner, Tucker faces seven more allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior and misconduct, the newspaper reported Saturday.
In total, 16 massage therapists at eight different spas in the Baltimore area have accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior that allegedly occurred during the 2012 to 2016 time period.
In response to the previous allegations, Tucker’s attorney told the Baltimore Banner to refer to Tucker’s social media post when the legendary kicker called the allegations “unequivocally false.”
For the Ravens, the question now becomes, how many accusations are too many? Following a season in which Tucker had his most inconsistent year since joining the franchise, should Baltimore part ways and retool at the kicker position?
This season, Tucker missed a career-high eight field goals, and it comes after a 2023 season when he only made one of five field goals from beyond 50 yards. Tucker finished the 2024 season by making his final 28 kicks (five field goals and 23 extra points).
Tucker has three years left on a four-year, $24 million contract extension, but there is no guaranteed money in 2025, 2026, or 2027.
Tucker, 35, is a seven-time Pro Bowl player and the most accurate kicker in NFL history. He is the longest-tenured player on the Ravens and the last remaining player from their 2012 Super Bowl championship team.
