Baltimore Ravens GM Eric DeCosta considers the mounting allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior against kicker Justin Tucker “serious” and “concerning.”

He still wants to see what the NFL’s investigation reveals before making any decision about one of the Ravens’ steadiest players.

“The allegations are serious, concerning. The amount of allegations are serious, concerning,” DeCosta said Tuesday at the NFL’s annual scouting combine in Indianapolis. “I think we’re fortunate 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 a decision based on that.”

The Baltimore Banner reported that 16 massage therapists from eight spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area have accused Tucker of the inappropriate behavior.

League officials have reportedly spoken with at least three of the women so far. DeCosta said he also has met with the league’s investigators.

Tucker has posted a statement on social media calling the allegations “unequivocally false.”

Allen seeking trade >> The Commanders have given two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen permission to seek a trade.

GM Adam Peters confirmed the decision, saying wanted to give Allen and agent Blake Baratz a chance to figure out the best path forward.

Allen is going into the final season of a four-year, $72 million extension signed in 2021.

Since debuting eight years ago, Allen has appeared in 108 games for Washington, making 401 tackles and recording 42 sacks. That sack total ranks fifth in franchise history since it became an official stat in 1982.

Chase slated for big raise >> The Bengals plan to make All-Pro wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.

“He is going to end up being the No. 1 paid non-quarterback in the league,” director of player personnel Duke Tobin said. “We’re there. Let’s get it done..”

Chase led the league in receptions (127), yards receiving (1,708) and touchdown catches (17) this season, becoming just the sixth wide receiver in the Super Bowl era to achieve the receiving triple crown.

The Bengals picked up his fifth-year option of $21.816 million, but will give him a long-term deal in the range of $40 million per year.
