The Baltimore Ravens announced on Monday that they will release longtime place kicker Justin Tucker, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic.
While Ravens General Manager characterized the move as a “football decision,” it comes at a time when the NFL is continuing its investigation into multiple accusations of misconduct involving massage therapists.
The misconduct allegations cast a shadow over Tucker going into the offseason. Specifically, he is accused of misconduct involving 16 massage therapists between 2012 and 2016.
Senses that the Ravens may part with the legendary kicker were heightened during this year’s draft, when Baltimore selected kicker Tyler Loop from Arizona in the 6th round.
Tucker has repeatedly denied the allegations.
