Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker put his $3.2 million Maryland abode on the market—just three weeks after being released by his team and days before he was handed a 10-week NFL suspension amid ongoing sexual misconduct allegations.
The 35-year-old former Texas Longhorns star, who is currently a free agent, was suspended for the first 10 weeks of the NFL regular season because he violated its personal conduct policy, the league revealed on June 26.
According to the NFL, Tucker will still be able to sign with a new team during his suspension, and he would be permitted to attend training camp and any preseason games that are scheduled before Aug. 26, which is when his suspension begins. The football pro will then be eligible for reinstatement on Nov. 11.
“Tucker’s suspension will take effect on roster cutdown day, August 26, and he will be eligible for reinstatement on Tuesday, November 11,” the NFL said in a statement.
“As with any free agent, Tucker may serve his suspension while not being under contract with a club. Tucker remains free to try out and sign with a club; if he is signed during the offseason, he may attend training camp and participate in preseason games.”
Tucker’s off-the-field scandal began when 16 massage therapists accused him of sexual misconduct, claiming that several incidents took place between 2012 and 2016, during the kicker’s first five seasons in the league.
Tucker has vehemently denied the “shocking and heartbreaking” allegations, branding them “unequivocally false.”

Following the suspension, Tucker’s agent, Rob Roche, told ESPN that Tucker and his wife, Amanda Bass Tucker—who share son Easton Hayes Tucker—were “disappointed” by the ruling.
“We are disappointed with the NFL’s decision. Justin has always strived to carry himself in a way that would make his family and community proud. He stands by his previous statements,” the Tuckers’ statement began.
“In order to put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible, we have advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this matter.
“The people who know Justin best know his character and understand that while he remains fully committed to excellence as a football player, he is deeply dedicated to his most important lifetime roles as a father, husband, and friend.”
Amid the allegations, it seems as though Tucker is ready to bid farewell to Baltimore altogether as he has listed his Maryland property.
The five-bedroom, 6.5-bath dwelling hit the market on June 2, one month after the Ravens released Tucker on the basis of a “football decision.”
The property sprawls across 6,480 square feet and is situated on a 1.26-acre lot.

Following the NFL ruling on June 26, the massage therapists told the Banner that the suspension is not “enough.”
“He got 10 weeks, and we have to deal with this for the rest of our lives,” the massage therapist told the outlet.
Meanwhile, another massage therapist told the outlet that she was “glad that something was done. It’s nice to feel finally heard.”
However, she called the punishment “bare minimum” and claimed that she had to exit her career because the NFL player’s behavior.
Michael Belsky and Catie Dickinson, the attorneys representing many of the massage therapists, addressed the suspension ruling in a statement released yesterday.
“It would have been simple for Mr. Tucker many months ago to have apologized and acknowledged wrongdoing. Instead Mr. Tucker insisted on falsely attacking the credibility of the victims and only further victimizing them. This was completely unnecessary and should not be acceptable,” the statement read.
The accusations of improper conduct were first reported by The Baltimore Banner in January, claiming that accusers alleged that Tucker exposed himself numerous times during the span of four years, including the year that the Ravens garnered a Super Bowl win.

The report revealed that the accusers claimed that they brought their sessions to a halt before the end time and refused to work with the NFL pro again.
It also suggested that Tucker was banned from entering two of the eight spas the allegations came from. Tucker’s legal team fiercely denied this claim.
Tucker branded the outlet’s story as a “desperate tabloid fodder.”
The allegations saw Tucker being accused of being “erect” and fully or partially exposing himself during the sessions, while others claimed that he acted “inappropriately” at some of Baltimore’s luxury spas, including the Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton Residences.
Following the accusations, Tucker released a statement denying the claims.
“Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always sought to conduct myself with the utmost professionalism. I have never before been accused of misconduct of any kind, and I have never been accused of acting inappropriately in front of a massage therapist or during a massage therapy session or during other bodywork.
“I have never received any complaints from a massage therapist, have never been dismissed from a massage therapy or bodywork session and have never been told that I was not welcome at any spa or other place of business,” the statement read.

John Harbaugh, the Ravens head coach, addressed the accusations during a press conference at the end of May, following the team’s second OTA practice of offseason.
“I mean, you’re talking about arguably the best kicker in the history of the game. And like we said, it’s multilayered [and] it’s complicated. But in the end, it all comes back to what you have to do to get ready for your team to play the first game.
“And I think if you step back and you take a look at all the issues and all the ramifications, you can understand that we’ve got to get our football team ready, and we’ve got to have a kicker to go. And that was the move that we decided to make.
“So, in that sense, it’s a football decision, and now we have to spend all of our focus and our time to get these kickers ready. We’ve got a competition going on and [we’ve got to] get these guys ready to make kicks. So that’s all I’m thinking about. From my perspective, it’s like, ‘We have to have a kicker out there making kicks,’ and what’s the best way to get that done?” Harbaugh said.
The Ravens then cut the kicker while he had three years remaining on his $22 million contract extension, which made him the NFL’s highest-paid kicker.
Tucker was the longest-tenured player on the team and one of the sole stars of the team’s 2012 Super Bowl championship squad.
