NFL kicker Justin Tucker suspended 10 weeks for violating league's personal conduct policy
Justin Tucker has been suspended by the NFL for 10 weeks. (/File via CNN Newsource) Former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been suspended without pay for 10 weeks of the upcoming season, the NFL announced on Thursday. The league said the suspension is based on Tucker violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Tucker is currently a free agent after playing 13 seasons with the Ravens. 'Tucker's suspension will take effect on roster cutdown day, August 26, and he will be eligible for reinstatement on Tuesday, November 11,' the league said in a statement. 'As with any free agent, Tucker may serve his suspension while not being under contract with a club. Tucker remains free to try out and sign with a club; if he is signed during the offseason, he may attend training camp and participate in preseason games.' Tucker has been accused of inappropriate sexual misconduct by multiple massage therapists, according to the Baltimore Banner, in alleged incidents between 2012 and 2016. Tucker has previously denied the accusations, calling them 'shocking and heart-breaking.' Following Tucker's suspension, the kicker's representative, Rob Roche, said he is 'disappointed with the NFL's decision,' per ESPN's Adam Schefter. 'In order to put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible, we have advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this matter.' CNN has reached out to Tucker's representatives for comment. Tucker signed with the Ravens as a rookie free agent in 2012 and has played his entire career in Baltimore. Known as one of the league's best placekickers, Tucker owns the highest career field goal percentage (89.1%), making him the most accurate kicker in NFL history. He won Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens in 2013. By Thomas Schlachter, CNN

NHL Insiders Disagree on Possible Brad Marchand Offseason Destination
NHL Insiders Disagree on Possible Brad Marchand Offseason Destination originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The race for Florida Panthers veteran and pending free agent Brad Marchand is heating up, and a couple of insiders have offered two different options for who might end up landing the winger. Advertisement One of Marchand's suitors is the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have been linked to the veteran winger since the team was eliminated from contention in the second round of the playoffs. Marchand is coming off a postseason where he posted 10 goals and 20 points in 23 games, helping the Florida Panthers secure the Stanley Cup for the second season in a row. He will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 after finishing his eight-year, $49 million contract, one he signed back in 2017 while still with the Boston Bruins. According to Nick Kypreos, appearing Friday on the "Leafs Morning Take" podcast, the Leafs are not only in the mix for the veteran winger but may already be leading the pack. Advertisement "There's no team on the planet right now that can satisfy the lost income he had probably on the last 3–4 years of his Boston Bruins deal, than the Toronto Maple Leafs," Kypreos said. He went as far as to suggest, 'I don't know how he doesn't end up as a Maple Leaf.' Florida Panthers center Brad Marchand (63) speaks to head coach Paul Maurice after winning the 2025 Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Rassol-Imagn Images But the Maple Leafs aren't alone and might face competition from an unexpected chaser. Elliotte Friedman reported on Friday's episode of the "32 Thoughts" podcast that the Utah Mammoth, the NHL's newest franchise, might be interested in Marchand too, and willing to spend. 'Maybe the magic number, like, that's 24 million," Friedman speculated on the offer the Mammoth might submit to Marchand. "Maybe he gets more than that in another structure.' Advertisement According to Daily Faceoff, Marchand is projected to sign a two-year, $5.1 million contract. That valuation would fall way short of Friedman's suggestion of a $24 million deal spread over three or four years with annual cap hits ranging from $6-to-8 million.
