For the first time in over a decade, the Baltimore Ravens are moving on without Justin Tucker but not because of age or decline. The star kicker was released amid sexual misconduct allegations. The news rocked the NFL , but it was Marlon Humphrey ’s emotional tweet about Tucker that truly lit up social media and sparked immediate backlash.
Humphrey’s sentimental tweet collides with Tucker’s scandal
Justin Tucker’s release from the Baltimore Ravens marks the abrupt end of a legendary career, one now clouded by serious allegations. The 34-year-old kicker, often labeled the most accurate in NFL history, was let go as the league investigates sexual misconduct claims brought against him. While Tucker has denied the allegations, the Ravens made the difficult choice to move on.
Head coach John Harbaugh addressed the situation by calling it “multi-layered” and “complicated,” emphasizing the team’s responsibility to prepare for the new season. But it was cornerback Marlon Humphrey’s personal response that lit a firestorm online.
Shortly after Tucker’s release, Humphrey posted: “imma miss Tucker lowkey. Team meetings won’t be the same.” While some viewed it as a heartfelt goodbye to a longtime teammate, many fans weren’t having it. Replies poured in, labeling the tweet as poorly timed and tone-deaf, given the ongoing sexual misconduct investigation. One user bluntly responded, “You gotta chill,” while another added, “Bad tweet unc.”
The backlash highlighted the growing tension between team loyalty and public accountability. For some, Humphrey’s tweet symbolized the emotional toll of losing a locker room leader. For others, it was a glaring misstep that overlooked the severity of the allegations facing Tucker.
With Tucker gone, the Ravens are now leaning on a kicking competition between rookie Tyler Loop and undrafted free agent John Hoyland. But filling Tucker’s shoes on the field might be easier than replacing his presence off of it.
This controversy reveals a deeper issue within professional sports: how players, teams, and fans navigate loyalty in the face of disturbing off-field accusations. The Ravens are trying to move forward, but the emotional and cultural fallout of Tucker’s release is far from over.
