Justin Tucker, widely regarded as the most accurate kicker in NFL history and a longtime Baltimore Ravens player since 2012, was released by the Ravens in May 2025 amid an ongoing NFL investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. Sixteen massage therapists from eight Baltimore-area spas accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior during sessions that occurred between 2012 and 2016. Tucker has denied all allegations, calling them "unequivocally false," and has not faced any criminal charges. The Ravens described the decision to release him as a difficult "football decision" influenced by the current team roster and Tucker's recent decline in performance during the 2024 season, which was his worst statistically. The team had also drafted a new kicker, Tyler Loop, signaling a shift away from Tucker. The NFL investigation into the allegations is still ongoing
