The Bears have reportedly decided to release kicker Cody Parkey at the start of the league year, per the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Parkey is still owed $3.5 million in 2019.
Chicago's 2018 season ended when Parkey double doinked a 43-yard field goal with just 10 seconds left in the NFC Wild Card round. The Pro Bowler product hit both the upright and crossbar on his unsuccessful potential game-winner. The Bears lost to the Eagles 16–15 at Soldier Field in Chicago.
Parkey struggled throughout the 2018 season prior to his double-doink miss.
