Former longtime Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been suspended by the NFL for 10 games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
In January, massage therapists told The Baltimore Banner that Tucker had committed sexual misconduct during sessions from 2012 to 2016. A total of 16 women accused Tucker, who denied all the allegations, of unwanted touching with his genitals and leaving ejaculate on the massage table.
The Ravens released Tucker in May in a decision the organization claimed was a “football decision.” Tucker, 35, has been with the Ravens since 2012 and was widely regarded during his prime as one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL. After struggling on the field last season, he has not signed with another team.
“We are disappointed with the NFL’s decision,” Tucker’s representative Rob Roche said in a statement. “In order to put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible, we have advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this matter.”
Tucker could remain a free agent during his suspension and come back Nov. 11. He has to miss regular-season games, but could sign with a team and participate in preseason. He won’t be paid during the suspension. Tucker had three years left on a four-year, $22 million extension that made him the league’s all-time highest-paid kicker when he was cut. He was still due $7.5 million, per Over the Cap, which the Ravens have absorbed into their salary cap between 2025 and 2026.
