Crows cut Tucker

Incidents claimed to occur 2012-2016, why the hell is it 8years later ????

Wether guilty or innocent, his reputation is shot.




Salute the nation

Can't say I blame them, he's always been money for them.
Had a bad year and gone?

Can't wait for them to lose on a missed FG with time running out this year.

Tucker is about to turn 36, an age well past tge prime of a player. While some short range kickers stay accurate later in their careers, that long leg stuff tends to dip after 35... Tucker already has a year and a half of declining performance... so this equation was easy:

1 36 yr old kicker + 2 straight seasons showing decline + 1 6th round pick at K + a **** ton of SA allegations + a potential suspension = 1 cut veteran kicker
 
Dude was MR. Automatic for them for years. It was nice seeing him miss a few easy ones the past couple of years against us. Sorry to see him go now that he is just another kicker.

There was one lawyer who lined up all the victims in Houston.....I'd imagine someone is doing same now in ratland. It may just be a matter of time.

The other question will be what did the Rats know about this and when did they learn about his deviance?

I bet without the allegations they would have given him this year to see if he worked things out. I think it was Boz who had one bad year and the Steelers stuck with him and has been money since.

BOZ’s bad year age and tucker’s bad year(s) age are significantly different. Tucker is past the “use by date” and BOZ wasn’t.

Not to forget that he also signed an extension in 2022 making him the highest paid kicker at the time. The money part does matter.
Made 51,129,281$$$$ in his career just on contracts since 2012.

By the way……where is the outrage here? He has not been criminally charged. There are no civil lawsuits.

No outrage because the Rats claim its a football move and its hard to argue against that...

He was bad down the stretch in 23 and extremely inconsistent last year... and is of tge age that NFL kickers fade off... they drafted his replacement...


They could easily argue this was just unrelated to the troves of accusations coming out...

I mean, I totally dont believe that... but you cant blame a team cutting an old guy for whatever reason.... if this was a cap savings cut no one would bat an eye...


And, like i said before, his reliability tanked the past two years

WAS Mr. Automatic, then he hit that magic age of 35. Then the sexual assault charges, and you got misses out the a$$. PRESTO. He can deny all he wants but usually where there is smoke there is fire. And it doesn't even matter, his reliability is shot and he's 35. The sex assault is irrelevant.

Ray Rice and Old Slice didn't really generate the reaction they deserved either.
