Marquise Goodwin traded to the Philadelphia Eagles

Marquise Goodwin has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles from the San Fransisco 49ers. This will be Goodwin’s third team in eight years.

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.

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.

San Francisco 49ers looking to trade Marquise Goodwin

Marquise Goodwin is on the trade block in San Fransico. After three seasons with the 49ers, Goodwin’s production has gone down every year.

Coming off a Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the San Fransisco 49ers are looking to make another run towards a championship. To do so, they are seeking to make a couple trades to free up cap space.

One of those trades could involve former Longhorn football and track star Marquise Goodwin. The seven-year veteran has been with the 49ers for three seasons after starting his career in Buffalo. Scheduled to make $3.95 million in 2020 and $5.3 million in 2021, San Fransisco could find cheaper options at the wide receiver position.

Since going to the Bay in 2017, Goodwin’s production has slowly gone down. His 56 receptions in 2017 were second on the team but were shrunk down to just 23 in 2018, and 12 this past season. The speedster has also struggled to stay healthy, missing 12 games over the past two seasons.

Already losing Emmanuel Sanders to the New Orleans Saints via free agency, wide receiver quickly is becoming a position of need for the San Fransico 49ers. With such a heavy draft at the position, John Lynch could be looking to spend his 13th overall pick on a wideout.

Many teams need a wide receiver going into the NFL Draft such as the Las Vegas Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Jets. All could be candidates to acquire Goodwin if willing to give up a draft pick or two.
