National reaction to the Ravens releasing kicker Justin Tucker

[ASFN Admin]

The Justin Tucker era is over in Baltimore.

The Ravens have decided to release the veteran kicker on Monday after a three-day rookie minicamp. The move comes as Tucker faces allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior and misconduct.

The league had previously traveled to Baltimore to begin interviewing massage therapists who have accused Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior, according to three women who participated in the inquiry.

The interviews are part of an investigation by the league, launched in response to a total of 16 massage therapists at eight different spas in the Baltimore area who have accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior that allegedly occurred during the 2012 to 2016 time period.

Tucker leaves Baltimore as a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, an eight-time All-Pro, a member of the 2010s All-Decade Team, and the Highest career FG% % in NFL history (89.1%, min. 100 attempts).

With the news now official, we're looking at the national reaction to the Ravens' blockbuster decision.

It's a decision of (1) taking all the dead money this year (costing them an additional $445K in Cap space) but w/ ZERO dead money pushed into 2026 or (2) using the post-6/1 designation & creating $4.2M in 2025, but also pushing $4.645M in dead money onto the 2026 Cap. https://t.co/qkhPiYfKvw

Not once during the Ravens statement via GM Eric DeCosta, did the Ravens mention multiple sexual misconduct allegations or the NFL’s current investigation into Justin Tucker. The Ravens just cut him.
