Tucker was widely considered one of the best kickers in NFL history until the Ravens released him in May 2025. The Ravens said his departure was a “football decision” after a slump in form, but the move came months after he was accused of inappropriate sexual behavior by massage therapists. Tucker denied the allegations and never faced criminal charges but he served a 10-game NFL ban for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

More than a dozen massage therapists from spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area accused Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior. One therapist who spoke to the Baltimore Banner, which broke the story, described Tucker’s alleged behavior as “really degrading”. Another said: “I can’t watch sports anymore. I see his face everywhere.”

    You only get blackballed in the NFL for protesting.
