BREAKING NEWSBaltimore Ravens release kicker Justin Tucker amid Sєxual misconduct scandal

The Baltimore Ravens have revealed that scandalized kicker Justin Tucker has been released.

The 35-year-old’s future has been in question after 16 mᴀssage therapists – from across eight spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area – made allegations of Sєxual misconduct against the married NFL star. 

Tucker denies any wrongdoing and previously branded the accusations ‘shocking and heart-breaking’. But on Monday, the Ravens confirmed they had taken the ‘tough decision’ to release Tucker.

In a statement, general manager Eric DeCosta made no mention of the allegations and heaped praise on Tucker, who had been with the Ravens since 2012. DeCosta insisted the kicker’s future was decided by on-field reasons.

‘Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult, and this is one of those instances,’ the statement read.

‘Considering our current roster, we have made the tough decision to release Justin Tucker.

‘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.

‘We are grateful for Justin’s many contributions while playing for the Ravens. We sincerely wish him and his family the very best in this next chapter of their lives.’ 

Among the allegations leveled against Tucker are that he repeatedly – and deliberately – exposed his erect genitals.

Two therapists claim he brushed them with his penis. More than once, meanwhile, the kicker is accused of leaving what appeared to be ejaculate on the mᴀssage table.

Back in February, it was reported that NFL investigators visited Baltimore to interview therapists who had made the bombshell claims about the Ravens kicker. 

Around the same time, DeCosta called the allegations ‘serious and concerning’ and refused to rule out terminating Tucker’s contract.

On Monday, however, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh insisted any decision on Tucker’s future ‘has to be based on football’.

Tucker, 35, recently finished his 13th season in the NFL, all with the Ravens. His 66-yard field goal in 2021 remains the longest successful kick in league history.

In 2022, he agreed to a four-year contract extension through the 2027 season. That deal included $17.5 million guaranteed. But in 2024 he suffered the worst season of his career and in this month’s draft, Baltimore added kicker Tyler Loop to their roster.
