4 weeks agoThe Baltimore Banner reports that seven additional massage therapists have accused Baltimore Ravens kicker
Justin Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior, bringing the total to 16 women at eight Baltimore-area spas that have thrown accusations his way. This situation looks awfully similar to Cleveland Browns quarterback
Deshaun Watson's, when he was suspended 11 games and fined $5 million in 2022 after allegations of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women who claimed Watson committed sexual misconduct during massage-therapy sessions. It's unclear what will play out with Tucker in Baltimore, but considering he's also coming off the worst season in his career in 2024, it's possible the Ravens could outright cut him this offseason to avoid any further headaches. At the very least, Tucker could be heading for a lengthy suspension in 2025 if he sticks with the organization.

1 month agoNFL commissioner Roger Goodell said on Monday that the league will look into the "serious issues" involving multiple sexual-misconduct allegations that recently surfaced against Baltimore Ravens kicker
Justin Tucker. Goodell also noted that it could be both civil and criminal. In total, nine massage therapists in the Baltimore area have accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior, with all of the incidents reportedly happening from 2012-16, Tucker's first five seasons in the NFL. His lawyer's have called the allegations "unequivocally false." The 35-year-old had the worst season of his career in 2024, but he's a seven-time Pro Bowler and is still the most accurate kicker in NFL history with an 89.1% success rate on his 468 attempted field goals over 13 seasons. Depending on what the league finds in its investigation, Tucker could be subject to a lengthy suspension under the NFL's personal-conduct policy.

1 month agoAccording to The Baltimore Banner, Baltimore Ravens kicker is facing three more sexual-assault allegations from massage therapists that have accused him of misconduct. Nine massage therapists in the Baltimore area have now accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior, with all of the incidents reportedly occurring from 2012 to 2016, his first five seasons in the NFL. On Thursday, Tucker wrote that The Baltimore Banner "takes innocuous or ambiguous interactions and skews them so out of proportion that they are no longer recognizable. This is desperate tabloid fodder." Tucker's conduct caused some therapists to refuse to work with him and resulted in two spas banning him. The 35-year-old seven-time Pro Bowler is the most accurate kicker in NFL history, but he could be subject to discipline under the NFL's personal-conduct policy heading into next season.

2 months agoBaltimore Ravens executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta said on Wednesday that he expects
Justin Tucker to be a great kicker for the team moving forward into the 2025 season. Tucker had the worst season of his career in 2024, but DeCosta mentioned that he finished the year strong. The 35-year-old finished the year going 22-for-30 on his field-goal attempts and 60-for-62 on his extra points in 17 regular-season games. He made just 73.3% of his field goals, with his previous low in conversion rate coming in at 82%. The seven-time Pro Bowler particularly struggled from deep, where he had been so money before, making just six of his 11 tries from 50-plus yards. While Tucker's leg might not be as strong as it was earlier in his elite career, he can still be a fantasy asset in 2025 in a strong Baltimore offense -- he just shouldn't be the first kicker off the board anymore.
