Ever since Cody Parkey’s now infamous “double doink” field goal miss against the Eagles in the NFC Wild Card Game, hype was built up around a potential Bears and Robbie Gould reunion.

The math added up and made perfect sense for an otherwise complete Bears roster with a glaring hole at kicker.
Unfortunately, the reunion won’t be happening as Gould’s incumbent team in the 49ers placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on the stalwart kicker, reports ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
