Baltimore Ravens has released Kicker Justin Tucker for a long time on Monday afternoon.
Tucker, signed by the raven as a free agent in 2012, is accused of inappropriate behaviors by eight different Baltimore Spa and 16 massage therapists from the healthy living center. NFL is investigating the issue, but Tucker rejected all the allegations and called them “absolutely wrong”.
Last week The Ravens Arizona Kicker Prepared Tyler Loop with election number 186 2025 NFL Draft. At that time, the article for Tucker was on the wall.
However, just a few days before releasing Tucker, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that Baltimore's kick competition will be based on football ”. The competition has the winner – and the rookie miniCamp has not yet started. Now a legendary NFL -hitting free agent with Loop's work and more than a dozen accusation.
The raven, 35 -year -old Kickers' release of the “football decision” he calls. But let's not children here.
“Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult and one of these situations, Rav said Ravens Vice President and General Manager Eric Decosta. “Given our current staff, we have made a hard decision to publish Justin Tucker.”
The raven played this perfectly. Tucker's typical accuracy as a Placekicker hesitated last season. Decosta in NFL Combined, The raven has “zero tolerance policy” Tucker's abuse was accused.
However, how do you say goodbye to All-Pro eight times, holding the record for the longest field target in NFL? Especially without any criminal charges? You prepare its place in the sixth round and accuse a football decision. He escapes from any sprinkle of the NFL Players Association, which can be upset by a player who is released in the middle of an investigation.
The draft kickers are far from being a guarantee. In recent years, we have seen plenty of flames before their careers could start.
However, there is no Kicker in NFL that guarantees the night of public relations surrounding Tucker. During the Super Bowl Construction windows, the raven said that they preferred to round the dice with a kicker that was not even proven than Tucker, who was in orbit to become a professional football hall of Famer.
The raven stood with the fair share of the players with shaded rap pages. But a striker? This summer, the negative that they will allow to participate in the training camp is not worth squeezing fruit juice when you take into account the scope of national media.
Maybe Tucker finds a way to clean up his name. Perhaps one day Ohio's honor list wins that point in Canton. But the raven could not find it worth waiting.
