Not that this would go along with any rules of the National Football League….nor would the amount of money at the publishing of this article come anywhere close to the $9 million in guaranteed money that the Bears owe their kicker…but one fan in Kentucky has started a GoFundMe to buy out the contract of Cody Parkey. [UPDATE: I think we killed it — the campaign has since been removed]
Parkey missed another extra point during the last game of the season, a 24-10 victory over the Vikings. That brings his season totals to 23-of-30 on field goals, good for 76.7 percent accuracy, and 41-of-44 on extra points (93.2 percent).
Still better than last year’s kicker — Connor Barth only hit about 68% of field goals, but missed less extra points — generally thought to be “gimme” points in the NFL.
COME ON, CODY! Pull it together in the playoffs and leave the regular season behind….#BearDown — [eric]
