Next up on our 2021 review of the Browns’ unrestricted free agents is K Cody Parkey.
How and When He Joined the Browns: Since 2014, Parkey has been with a handful of teams, but this was actually his second stint with the Browns. In both cases, he was a replacement kicker who became the primary kicker for most of the season — in 2016, it was due to an injury to Patrick Murray. In 2020, it was after Austin Seibert was terrible in Week 1, and Parkey was promoted from the practice squad.
