Gritty Decision: NFL Investigates Justin Tucker Over Sexual Misconduct Claims
Ravens terminate contract with Justin Tucker due to accusations of sexually inappropriate conduct
Ah, blame it on a bad massage! The Baltimore Ravens have parted ways with their legendary kicker, Justin Tucker, following a slew of accusations from an impressive dozen massage therapists.
Now, brace yourselves, Baltimore Banner readers spilled the beans that these alleged transgressions date back to 2012, all at swanky spas in the local area. And guess what? The NFL is in hot pursuit, investigating the inappropriate allegations against Tucker.
You know what they say, "Football decisions are tough cookies," and this one's a doozy. Even though Tucker has vehemently denied the claims, calling them "unequivocally false," the Ravens have been chipper, bringing in a new kid on the block - rookie kicker Tyler Loop.
Coach John Harbaugh dropped a hint that a decision regarding our hung-up kicker was forthcoming. With Loop in the picture, the Ravens have some serious roster considerations to weigh, not to mention keeping their salary cap in check.
Tucker, a five-time All-Pro, is an unquestionable marvel in the world of NFL kicking, with a whopping 89.1% success rate on field goals—a record to die for. He's been wearing the Ravens blue for a staggering thirteen seasons, and I mean, let's be honest, he's the man behind some of the team's most memorable moments.
But, alas, last season, Tucker took one on the chin, missing a career-high eight field goals. And now, the bombshell report from January is threatening the kicker's future in the league.
The Ravens weren't about to stand still, releasing Tucker with a loaded sentiment. Eric DeCosta, the general manager, thanked Tucker for his remarkable contributions, wishing him and his family the very best moving forward.
