The Steelers’ rival has released their controversial kicker
The Baltimore Ravens have released kicker Justin Tucker. The longtime Steelers’ rival has been accused by multiple massage therapists around Baltimore of sexual misconduct, which came to light earlier this year. Baltimore drafted kicker Tyler Loop in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, which all but ended Tucker’s time in Baltimore, and now it is official.
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta released a statement on the matter:
“Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult, and this is one of those instances. Considering our current roster, we have the tough decision to release Justin Tucker. Justin created many significant and unforgettable moments in Ravens history. His reliability, focus, drive, resistance, and extraordinary talent made him one of the league’s best kickers for over a decade. We are grateful for Justin’s many contributions while playing for the Ravens. We sincerely wish him and his family the very best in this next chapter of their lives.”

That’s an interesting tone to use, considering everything surrounding Tucker, but I digress. 2025 will be the Ravens’ first season without Tucker since 2011.
