Cody Parkey expected to sign with Tennessee Titans tomorrow

It looks like—nine months after double-doinking a game-ending field goal that could have sent the Bears to last season’s NFC Divisional round—Cody Parkey has found a new home. 

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday afternoon that the Titans are flying Parkey into Tennessee tonight and are expected to sign him tomorrow:

The news comes on the heels of the Titans releasing Cairo Santos, who had been handling the team’s kicking duties for the first five weeks of the season. In Sunday’s Week 5 loss to the Bills, Santos went 0-for-4 on field goal attempts, including two misses from inside 36 yards. The 0-fer moved Santos to 4-for-9 on the year.

Parkey worked out for the Jets back in August and the Titans in September.

The Bears and Titans are not currently slated to cross paths this season (barring what would be a preposterously unlikely Super Bowl matchup). That’s probably good news for Parkey, who wouldn’t be received warmly by the Chicago faithful.

At 2-3, the Titans are currently on the outside looking in in the AFC playoff picture, but if they can jump back into the mix, Parkey could happen into a chance for some semblance of redemption down the line.
