Ravens' Justin Tucker accused of inappropriate sexual behavior by six massage therapists

[tsylvester]

Kind of hard to cut him now, especially with the drafting of a player accused twice, once in high-school, once in college of sexual assault. Now no charges were brought and the case never made it to civil court, but will it if he signs a big deal?

Plus, best to wait & see if the kid they drafted is reliable enough to replace Tucker. He would be a June 1 cut any way.

I just saw it as they would never let Justin in again.

Tucker released

[tsylvester]

Surprised this soon. I know Loop has looked great in early camp, but wowza

[papasmurfbell]

I’m not surprised.  They couched it as a football move.  It isn’t.  The lawyers said it’s the time with just enough football baggage to hide behind.

[tsylvester]

Yeah, we will see what happens with Green if he balls out, gets a huge pay day and then his accusers come out to sue him in a few years if the Ravens will release him.

Granted, Tucker had his on field issues the past 2 years, still.... not much of a competition, one, two days of watching Loop drill 60+ yarders, in practice

He was gone the moment a kicker was drafted.  They just needed the lawyers to say the team is fully covered by football decisions.  

as for green if he stays clean he should be insulated.  The statute of limitations will be over in 4 yrs.

Man, two years ago who would have believed Tucker would wind up his career here with an outright release due to scandal? Just goes to show we don't really have any idea as to the character of these guys. I guess the teams don't either.

Green needs to stay squeaky clean in order to have a successful career here. I don't know enough about him to say one way or the other if he has changed his ways. This ought to be a good lesson for him if he has the sense to comprehend it.

For arrests, not civil, Tucker's accusations are almost from 10 years ago

And nobody is filing suit to the best of my knowledge.  A news report got Justin. 
as for green it looks like va has a 2 yr statute of limitations on this kind of case.  If that’s the fact he is already past it.  

[tsylvester]

Tucker was let go based on the court of public opinion, no limitations on that.... I'm sure the team had indications from the league that they, the league, would be coming down hard on Tucker.

Not sure what to make of Green, high-school, then an annomus claim against him in college. Bad girl friends he used and moved on from?

Time will tell i guess. I'm just surprised that they even opened the door for him given what was going on with Tucker

[papasmurfbell]

So am I.  That is why I couched it in keeping his nose clean now.  The old accusations are off the table.
