The Baltimore Ravens have launched Justin Tucker’s kicking, although the organization calls him a “football decision.”
The Ravens took the Arizona Tyler loop in the sixth draft round of this year after a difficult season for the generally reliable Tucker.
However, Tucker has been involved in the controversy outside the field, since 16 massage therapists of eight well-being centers and different Baltimore spa have accused him of inappropriate behavior of alleged incidents between 2012-16.

Tucker has denied all accusations, calling them “unequivocally false” in a statement published on social networks.
“Sometimes, football decisions are incredibly difficult and this is one of those cases. Taking into account our current list, we have made the difficult decision to free Justin Tucker,” said the executive vice president and general manager of the Ravens, Eric Decosta on Monday.
“Justin created many significant and unforgettable moments in the history of the Ravens. His reliability, focus, impulse, resistance and extraordinary talent made him one of the best kickers in the league for more than a decade.

When the Ravens took on the day of day three, there were immediate speculation about Tucker’s future with the franchise.
The 35-year-old, who is five times All-Pro and seven times Pro Bowler, had his worst year at the NFL in 2024 after having a 73.3%field goal percentage. However, he still has the percentage of the field goal of his career of all time with 89.1% with that brand.

Tucker made 22 of his 30 field goal attempts, missing 3 of 40-49 yards and 6-off-11 of 50 yards and beyond. Two of his 62 additional points attempts were also lost.
But the state of Tucker for the 2025 campaign could be in question while facing these accusations.
The president of the Ravens, Sashi Brown, talked about the accusations against the kicking All-Pro Tucker, since the league prepared for its annual meeting in March.
A topic of main conversation was how these investigations have long been, and there is no calendar for when they would end.

“That is never satisfactory to anyone involved, probably including Justin and the people who made the accusations,” Brown said, through the team’s website. “But this is a problem, generally as a society in terms of women who make statements that require a lot of courage and courage, and frankly as a society we have not done well for too long.
“From our point of view, we want to make sure we have a great understanding of the facts, listen both sides of the situation and that we allow the research to be carried out and conclude properly and make decisions based on complete information.”
Baltimore’s banner first reported the accusations with victims that say that Tucker was repeatedly exposed for a period of four years, including his rookie campaign when the Ravens won the Super Bowl.
Six massage therapists came out at the beginning, followed by seven more women and a total of 16. Accusations of all women are similar.

“Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always tried to lead me with maximum professionalism. I had never been accused of misconduct of any kind, and I have never been accused of acting inappropriately in front of a massage therapist or during a massage therapy session or during another body,” said Tucker’s statement.
“I have never received any complaint from a massage therapist, I have never been fired from a massage therapy or body session and they have never told me that I was not welcome in any spa or other business place.”
