That would be a total downgrade. Parkey can at least hit the upright, Walsh isn't anywhere close.

Wow what a shocker! I mean not really if you've actually been paying attention to how things work.

What is a Redford Jones?

This suggests the Bears are willing to eat $5M of Parkey's contract if they can find something better for less than what they will have to pay Gould in FA. To pay Parkey AND Gould on their current $14M cap number is just not realistic. If Parkey is worth $5M, Gould should be worth $4M at least. Too much money invested in kickers. I don't see Gould going back to Chicago.

It is beginning to look more and more like the Bears have bowed out of any chase to bring Gould back to Chicago. They just resigned Bobby Massie. The terms of the deal have not yet been released but he was getting $6.5M/yr and almost certainly did not take a cut. They had only $14M before that signing. Expect they only have around $8M left.
They also want to bring back Bryce Callahan and Adrian Amos. Both of those guys were solid DBs for them. It will take some restructuring of existing contracts or player cuts to make room for that.
Bottom line: They are not in the bidding for Robbie Gould.

#49ers, Gould have been talking about a new contract and John Lynch said the team wants to "reward" him for his steady kicking. But the scuttlebutt in Mobile last week was that the sides weren't close. And Dan's story makes it sound as if Gould expects to reach FA on March 13. https://t.co/njRqcqIDor

Ok, so franchise him.
