Ravens Release Kicker Justin Tucker as He Faces Sexual Misconduct Allegations
New York Post ^ | May 5, 2025 | Christian Arnold

Embattled kicker Justin Tucker was cut by the Ravens on Monday, general manager Eric DeCosta announced.

The news comes 24 hours after head coach John Harbaugh had adamantly told reporters that any decision on Tucker’s future would be “based on football.”

Tucker had been accused of inappropriate behavior by 16 massage therapists in the Baltimore area during a span between 2012 and 2016, which had first been reported by the Baltimore Banner in January. The longtime Ravens kicker has denied the accusations on multiple occasions, saying that they were “simply not true.”

- He will be signed by the Browns later today.


- He has made $51,129,281 since he started in 2012. He had $8.4M left on his contract, I don't know if they still owed any of that to him.

- Last year was the worst year of his career. Before that, I think he was the best kicker ever by some metrics. If he hadn't had a down year, would they be releasing him?

When kickers go bad, it happens quickly.

Yes, but some of them have had off years, and got better. Kickers are susceptible to the yips.

The 49ers had kickers that were bad, but went on to be good with other teams.

These allegations are impossible after 9-13 years to prove or disprove. The main one were from his rookie season, in which he won a Super Bowl. Kind of gross how this can be done to anyone, without any proof. He was probably done anyway because he had a bad year in 2024, but this is a pretty awful way to end his career.

This is strange.

01. ) Hasn’t the statute of limitations expired on this kind of stuff?

02. ) Money grab by the masseuses?

03. ) Story by the Ravens so that they could cut him?

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.

A Trump hater, with ‘hippie’ and ‘pervert’ written all over him.

Way to go, Browns...

Doesn't that happen all the time? Look at Bill Cosby and Masterson, their cases were a lot older than that.

And they've gone after Nazis much much longer than that.

I never heard that Justin Tucker mentioned Trump, or was a hippie.

I think the SoL often now doesn’t apply for sexual stuff?

Someone help me. Is the current official narrative “Believe the victims” or “Drag $100 through a trailer park”?
