Tom:Call me a cynic, but these allegations are over a decade old, no lawsuit, no charges, nothing ever and NO there were not any NDA agreements in anyway (If there were, they would have had to break them and there is zero mention of any). And second call me a cynic, were the Ravens involved in this leak? Ironic that once he went from a 88% kicker to a 79% kicker in a contract year, the Ravens make a "football" decision and the league suspends him for 10 games.
Asking for a friend, how do you get suspended 10 games for unsubstantiated allegations. IMO , this was a "hit" job and they did him dirty. He can't win or recover from this situation, basically a retirement sentence.
If this is what I suspect it is, I would like to see him stay quiet and practice all year long til week 11, sign with the Bengals and beat the Ravens. That would be poetic justice.

Great post. You are so right, if he was still the best kicker in the league none of this would be happening.
However, the fact of the matter is in today’s NFL even if Justin Tucker admitted to all of these allegations tomorrow some team in need of a kicker would eventually sign him.
The signing would be followed by Tucker releasing a statement saying something like “the things I did are not reflective of who I am….”
And whatever team that signed him would say “we have investigated Justin throughly and even though it happened over 10 times and he is clearly a habitual offender, we are convinced he will never do it again….”
