And not everyone in Chiefs Kingdom is happy about it.A writer for one of the most prominent Chiefs blogs blasted the team for signing Tucker, who was accused of sexual misconduct by 16 massage therapists. He called the decision a “disgrace” and argued that the Chiefs either didn’t believe Tucker’s accusers or didn’t care.Chiefs Sign TuckerSo far this season, Butker has six kicks, including an extra point, and he’s just 2-of-6 from 50 yards or longer. Given those struggles, the team has opted to sign Tucker to the practice squad, but that move has drawn a lot of criticism.Tucker, widely considered one of the greatest kickers in NFL history, hasn’t played since the 2024 season.
