Let's Have An Honest Conversation About Justin Tucker And Unproven Allegations | Bobby Burack

Let's have an honest conversation about Justin Tucker and unproven allegations.

The Baltimore Ravens released the kicker this week, citing "football decisions." Of course, there was more to the decision than just football. In January, 16 female massage therapists accused Tucker of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior during spa sessions from 2012 to 2016 in and around Baltimore.

Undoubtedly, football played a role in the decision to cut Tucker. He is coming off his worst season as a professional, with a field goal percentage of just 73.3%. Were that number in the high 80s, the 36-year-old would likely still be a Raven.

However, he'd also still likely be a Raven if he were not the subject of various allegations. Despite his lackluster 2024 season, Tucker is widely considered the greatest NFL kicker of all time. As Ravens head coach John Harbaugh expressed during his struggles, there is still no kicker a team would rather have under pressure than Justin Tucker. Well, maybe, Harrison Butker.

Call it Me Too'ed, canceled, or whatever. The allegations against Tucker cost him his job in the NFL and probably any chance of returning. And the allegations are murky, at best.

Tucker vehemently denies any wrongdoing and spoke to OutKick exclusively in February. Tucker, his wife, and his lawyer also provided documents that they believe dispute the accusations. To be frank, the documents don't prove Tucker's innocence. Unfortunately, you cannot disapprove a negative. Still, the documents do raise valid skepticism.

For one, Tucker's tax records show that he visited several of the spas in question after the alleged misbehavior occurred, including 14 additional visits to The QG salon in downtown Baltimore.
