There is a GoFundMe to buy out the contract of Bears kicker Cody Parkey

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]
