Report: Browns to Sign Cody Parkey

Kicker Cody Parkey, who set an NFL rookie scoring record and went to the Pro Bowl as an Eagle in 2014, has agreed to contract terms with the Browns, according to a report by Cleveland.com on Friday night.

Parkey lost a preseason kicking battle with Caleb Sturgis and was released by the Eagles on Sept. 3. In Cleveland, he’ll replace kicker Patrick Murray, who got hurt during a practice on Friday.

Parkey scored 150 points in 2014, breaking not only the NFL rookie record but also the Eagles' franchise record. He made 32 of 36 field goal attempts, including all four of his attempts from 50 yards and out.

But last year, he went on injured reserve after just three games and was replaced by Sturgis.

In his two-year career, Parkey has made 35 of 40 field goals, and his 87.5 accuracy is fourth highest in NFL history among kickers who have attempted 40 or more field goals.

Parkey will join Matt Bahr as the second kicker to play for both the Browns and Eagles. Bahr, a Philly native and Neshaminy High School graduate, spent 1981 through 1989 with the Browns and kicked for the Eagles in 11 games in 1993.
