Former Eagles kicker Cody Parkey, who went to the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2014, is about to sign with the Cleveland Browns, according to several reports.

The Browns need a kicker after Pat Murray injured his knee in practice, Friday.

Parkey was beaten out for the Eagles' kicking job by Caleb Sturgis during training camp.

Acquired in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts during the 2014 preseason, Parkey won the kicking job from incumbent Alex Henery and went on to have a record-breaking season.

In 2014, Parkey set an Eagles record with 150 points, breaking the mark of 144 set by David Akers in 2008. Those 150 points were also a rookie record, breaking the mark of the Chicago Bears' Kevin Butler in 1985.

Parkey finished second in the NFL in scoring that year to New England's Stephen Gostkowksi, who had 156 points.

That rookie year Parkey also set Eagles' records with an 89 percent field goal percentage (32-for-36), four field goals of 50 yards, or longer and 46 touchbacks on kickoffs.

His streak of 17 consecutive field goals made was the second longest streak in team history. His five field goals in a game against Tennessee were also the second most in a game in team history.

In 2015, Parkey suffered three tears in his groin area late in the preseason. He started the season, but missed a crucial kick in the opener against the Atlanta Falcons. After the third game of the season against the Jets, he was placed on injured reserve.

This summer he was back, but Sturgis who took over for him last season, won the job with a better performance during camp.

Parkey did not appear to be fully back from the serious groin injury, but was competent. If he ever does get back to his 2014 form, the Browns may have gotten themselves a Pro Bowl kicker.
