Professional “double doinker” Cody Parkey will be cut by the Bears when the new season starts on March 13th. That’s according to a post on the NFL’s website this evening…and when the league is reporting it, I’m pretty sure you can take it to the bank. Speaking of bank, the placekicker will still be owed $3.5 million in guaranteed money by the Bears. Nice severance package.
He is infamous for hitting the uprights in games last season — most notably in the last few seconds of the NFC Divisional Playoff game against the Eagles — which lead to a GoFundMe page to buy out his contract and a Goose Island field goal kicking challenge that ultimately crowned no winners in snowy, slippery conditions.
Bye, Felecia. — [eric]
