The New Orleans Saints have invited former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker in for a tryout, league sources have confirmed to The Athletic.
Tucker, who served a 10-game suspension stemming from violations of the NFL’s personal conduct policy, was officially available as of Nov. 11. He was released by the Ravens in May and suspended in June after the league investigated multiple allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior by massage therapists.
The allegations were first reported by the Baltimore Banner in January. Tucker faced accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior by 16 massage therapists in the Baltimore area in alleged incidents dating back to 2012.
He did not appeal the suspension, saying he wanted to “put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible,” according to a statement released by his agent.
The 36-year-old repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, calling the allegations “unequivocally false.”
Signed as an undrafted rookie in 2013, Tucker spent 13 seasons in Baltimore. He’s had an award-laden career that included five first-team All-Pro selections and seven Pro Bowls. He previously held the NFL record for longest kick (66 yards) and was the league leader in accuracy in 2021, hitting 94.6 percent of his kicks. He kicked a career-low 73.3 percent in 2024.
The Saints also invited 24-year-old Cade York in for a tryout. York most recently kicked for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2024. Blake Grupe has been the main kicker for New Orleans (2-9) but has struggled, hitting only 18 of 26 field goal attempts through 11 games, a 69.2 percent success rate. He missed two kicks in a 24-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Grupe ranks 37th out of 39 in the league in success rate for a team that has scored more than 20 points just twice this season.
