Justin Tucker, the NFL’s all-time leader in field goal conversion percentage and a stalwart with the Baltimore Ravens for 13 years, is now without an NFL home. Baltimore released Tucker on May 5 amid both a decline in efficiency and an ongoing investigation by the league into alleged sexual misconduct.

“Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult, and this is one of those instances,” Ravens’ GM Eric DeCosta said in a statement. “Considering our current roster, we have made the tough decision to release Justin Tucker ...  one of the league’s best kickers for over a decade.”
