The Kansas City Chiefs sent shockwaves through the NFL world on Wednesday when they signed controversial kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad. Tucker hasn’t played in the NFL since 2024 after he was cut by the Baltimore Ravens. At the time, Tucker was accused of sexual misconduct by 16 massage therapists in the Baltimore area stemming from incidents that allegedly happened between 2012 and 2016.
It didn’t take long after the signing was announced that social media started raking the Chiefs over the coals for signing such a radioactive player. Fans also unearthed a previous dispute from 2024 between Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Tucker when he was still on the Ravens. The incident happened during the AFC Championship Game in which Tucker was stretching in the area the Chiefs offense was warming up in.
Frustrated by Tucker’s ignorance, Kelce marched over and threw Tucker’s helmet and football out of the way. He also addressed the incident the following week on his “New Heights” podcast. You don’t interfere with what they have going on.
That’s the unwritten rule. If you want to be a f---ing d--- about it, you keep your helmet and your football and your f---ing kicking tee right where the quarterbacks are warming up. Fights on,” remarked another fan.
