Justin Tucker, widely regarded as the greatest kicker in NFL history, worked out for the New York Jets on Wednesday alongside Michael Badgley and Joshua Karty, as he attempts to revive his career following sexual misconduct allegations. Tucker has not played since the 2024 season, having served a 10-game suspension last year for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy and remaining unsigned since. His case has drawn comparisons to Deshaun Watson's, though the outcomes have differed sharply, and his path back to the league now looks uncertain.

In January 2025, The Baltimore Banner reported that 16 female massage therapists had accused Tucker of sexual misconduct at spas around Baltimore between 2012 and 2016; he was never criminally charged or civilly sued, and has denied the allegations, with his legal team disputing the accusers' claims. The Ravens released him in May 2025 after 13 seasons. Unlike Watson, who received a lucrative Browns contract despite facing dozens of allegations, Tucker, who turns 37 in November and posted a career-low 73.3% field-goal rate in 2024, has already worked out unsuccessfully for the Saints and Colts. Tucker did not respond to a request for comment.
