It didn’t take long for kicker Cody Parkey to fall out of favor in Chicago.
His missed kicks this season already have Bears fans wanting him off the team, and at least one wants to pay up for it.
A Bears fan identified as Nicholas Kelly of Fort Campbell, Kentucky started a crowdfunding campaign to buy out the $9 million of guaranteed money in Parkey’s contract.
The 26-year-old kicker signed in Chicago this offseason on a four-year, $15 million contract, with 60 percent of it guaranteed at signing.
He missed an extra point against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17 but made up for it with a 42-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
