Ravens release kicker Justin Tucker

[True Dough]

Last season, the accuracy took a big hit. And his reputation took a big hit as the sexual assault allegations kept piling up.

In an unceremonious end to one of the greatest Ravens careers, Baltimore released kicker Justin Tucker on Monday, parting ways with the NFL's most accurate kicker amid an investigation by the league for sexual misconduct.

"Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult, and this is one of those instances," Ravens executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement. "Considering our current roster, we have made the tough decision to release Justin Tucker.

"Justin created many significant and unforgettable moments in Ravens history. His reliability, focus, drive, resilience 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."

2. Easy decision for shankapotamus...they'd have kept him if we was still good

Ray Lewis killed a man...could still play linebacker better than anyone else kept him.

Lewis the RB has a bunch of drugs... Replaceable cut him.

If you are replaceable and a criminal, the Ravens will cut you. If you are all pro. Then the ravens keep the criminals

5. It was Ray Lewis friends

Ray Lewis was actually the prosecutor's star witness but the defendant was still found not guilty for reasons of self-defense IIRC.

7. As a Steelers fan

I must agree with the previous post to yours. Ray Lewis, while no angel, is not a murderer.

8. I Wonder What They Would Have Done...

...if Tucker hadn't had his worst year ever.

9. I believe

they may have punted the issue down the road, so to speak, Prof.
