Baltimore Ravens Release Justin Tucker Amid Allegations

The Baltimore Ravens have released longtime kicker Justin Tucker, ending his 13-year tenure with the team amid allegations of sexual misconduct from multiple massage therapists and a career-worst 2024 season. Tucker, widely regarded as one of the best kickers in NFL history, holds records for most points scored for the Ravens and the highest field goal percentage in league history. The Ravens cited football reasons for the decision, highlighting Tucker's recent performance struggles and their selection of kicker Tyler Loop in the 2025 NFL draft. However, the move has sparked debate, with many questioning the team's insistence that the release was not influenced by the ongoing NFL investigation into Tucker's conduct. The decision marks a significant transition for the Ravens, who are taking a financial risk and facing public scrutiny as they move forward with a new kicker. Tucker's future in the NFL remains uncertain as he faces both off-field allegations and the challenge of maintaining his legacy.
