Before the 2020 NFL Draft started, there were rumors of the San Fransisco 49ers trading away Marquise Goodwin. While they were not able to get it done during the first four rounds, they finally got it done in the fifth.
The Philadelphia Eagles made the trade with the 49ers, acquiring him while flipping sixth-round draft picks. Philadelphia was a team in desperate team of a wide receiver. Already drafting two with TCU’s Jalen Reagor’s and Boise State’s John Hightower, they have now added three wideouts for Carson Wentz this weekend.
#49ers WR Marquise Goodwin traded the #Eagles, per me and @MikeGarafolo.

Goodwin only played in nine games in the 49ers run towards the Super Bowl. Dealing with a thigh/hamstring injury, he will be looking to play 2020 fully healthy.
This will be the third team Goodwin has been with since being drafted in 2013. Spending time in Buffalo and San Fransico, Goodwin is now back on the east coast, competing in the NFC East.
