Now he is reportedly working out with the New Orleans Saints, a franchise valued at over $5 billion, and searching for stability at kicker. For Tucker, the workout represents his first real opportunity to re-enter the league after one of the most turbulent stretches of his career.

Tucker last played during the 2024 NFL season, his final year with Baltimore. He had been with the Ravens for 13 seasons and built a resume that included All-Pro selections, Pro Bowl nods, and the NFL’s highest career field-goal accuracy.
His consistency, leg strength, and reliability made him a central figure in the Ravens’ identity for more than a decade. Then everything stopped. Tucker was released by Baltimore in May 2025 as the NFL publicly confirmed it was investigating allegations involving multiple massage therapists.
A month later, the league suspended him for the first ten weeks of the 2025 season for violating the personal-conduct policy. The suspension, combined with his release, effectively froze his career. Despite his talent and potential, Tucker was seen as a liability by teams as they didn’t try to bring him in.
The Saints brought him in this week as part of a multi-kicker tryout. Their current kicking situation has been unstable, and the front office is evaluating options ahead of the final stretch of the season.
Justin Tucker Sexual Misconduct Allegations
Tucker’s fall stems from allegations reported earlier in 2025 involving several massage therapists who accused him of inappropriate behavior during sessions between 2012 and 2016. The allegations led to the NFL opening an investigation, followed by Baltimore’s decision to move on from him after more than a decade together.
Tucker denied the accusations. The NFL, after reviewing evidence and interviews, imposed a ten-game suspension for violating the league’s personal-conduct rules. The league did not release full details, but the accusations centered on unwanted advances and conduct that violated boundaries during professional therapy sessions.
The case never resulted in criminal charges, but the investigation was significant enough for the NFL to hand down one of its more severe non-criminal conduct suspensions in recent years. The fallout cost Tucker his job, his reputation within the league, and a chance to play during the first half of the 2025 season.
