Ravens GM gave a clear verdict on Justin Tucker after drafting Tyler Loop

In April, when the Ravens drafted Tyler Loop, many thought that Justin Tucker's days were numbered. However, the team's general manager, Eric DeCosta, assured everyone that adding Loop to the roster wasn't about replacing the veteran; it was about adding more depth and talent to the lineup.

"No, I haven’t really thought about that at this point,” DeCosta said, via the team’s transcript. “I just thought he was a really talented player, and it made sense for us to do that for a lot of different reasons.
"We’ve told you guys multiple times this spring that we would look at kickers, and so, for us, it’s like any other position this year. We evaluated all these guys, we felt like he was draftable. We felt like he was the best kicker. It made sense for us to take him."

While the team seems to be moving forward with Tyler Loop, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for Justin Tucker.
