Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta made his first public comments on Tuesday about the allegations against Justin Tucker.
DeCosta was asked several questions about Tucker during the GM’s media availability at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. He called the sexual misconduct allegations against the kicker “serious and concerning.”
“The allegations are serious and concerning. The amount of allegations are serious and concerning,” DeCosta said. “I think we’re fortunate that the league is doing an investigation. We’ll wait as patiently as we can for as much information as we can and we’ll make our decisions based on that.”
One reporter asked DeCosta about the Ravens’ “zero-tolerance” policy regarding allegations like the ones against Tucker. DeCosta said every case is different and that the team wants all the facts before deciding.
“I think the biggest thing that we have to do, first of all, is look at every single case differently. There are no absolutes. I think in this case we’re still awaiting as much information as possible,” DeCosta replied. “Again, we’re fortunate that the league has come down to Baltimore. I met with the league. I believe the league is meeting with other people in Baltimore as well. We’ll wait for the details of that investigation and we’ll make a decision based on that.”
