In the beginning of the year, six massage therapists came forward in the Baltimore Banner and accused Tucker of sexual harassment.
He has denied all allegations and is not reported to the police.
The Baltimore Ravens claim that the decision to let Tucker go was made before the allegations.
All decisions we make are based on football. We have taken in a talented rookie, and we have to take into account things like the salary cap, says coach John Harbaugh.
Tucker is considered one of the NFL's best kickers of all time and has been the league's best over the past decade. He has an average of 89.1 percent in set field goals, the best in NFL history.
