The Baltimore Ravens are considering their next move regarding kicker Justin Tucker, who faces accusations of inappropriate behavior during massage-therapy sessions. The team initially expects him to return in 2025 despite a shaky 2024 season. If they decide to part ways with Tucker, the Ravens might wait until March to release him, spreading the cap charge over two seasons. This would save the team $2.87 million in 2025 and $4.65 million in 2026. A non-guaranteed $4.2 million salary for 2025 would also be eliminated. The decision depends on the emergence of more accusers or credible evidence increasing pressure to act. If similar circumstances to Ray Rice’s 2014 situation arise, the Ravens may reevaluate their stance.
