CHIEFS FIX THEIR KICKING PROBLEM BY SIGNING A GUY WHO HASN'T KICKED SINCE 2024

Kansas City has a kicker problem. Harrison Butker is 11 of 16 on field goals this season, 68.8%, and 2 of 6 from 50 and out. He missed two in Sunday's 20-3 loss at Seattle. Since the start of last season he has missed 15 kicks, the most in the league, which is 35 points the Chiefs paid for in cash. So they went shopping. They worked out Ben Sauls and Harrison Mevis. Then they signed Justin Tucker, who has not kicked in an NFL game since 2024. Here is why he has not kicked since 2024. The Baltimore Banner reported in 2025 that 16 massage therapists accused him of sexual misconduct during sessions between 2012 and 2016. The NFL suspended him 10 games under the personal conduct policy, the Ravens released him that May, and Tucker called the accusations "unequivocally false." He was never criminally charged or sued. He worked out for the Colts, Saints and Jets and stayed unsigned for a year, right up until a contender started shanking 50-yarders. Andy Reid was asked what the signing says to female fans. "He's done his suspension," he said. "Took care of that business," and then "I'll leave it at that." He added that the team did "our homework." That was the whole answer.

Why you should give a shit: Reid says Butker still kicks Sunday in Denver, so we are about to find out the exact number of missed field goals at which a franchise decides the past is the past.
