Marquise Goodwin Traded to Eagles from 49ers for 6th-Round Draft Pick Swap

The 49ers and Eagles agreed to a trade that sent Marquise Goodwin to Philadelphia on Saturday, San Francisco's second trade sending out a veteran skill position player on Day 3 of the 2020 NFL draft.

The Eagles received Goodwin and pick No. 210 overall in the draft in exchange for pick No. 190. 

The 49ers also traded running back Matt Breida to the Miami Dolphins and acquired tackle Trent Williams as part of a busy day for general manager John Lynch.

Goodwin has two years remaining on his contract, with 2020 holding a $4 million base salary. A breakout star in 2017, Goodwin has been practically invisible from the 49ers offense the last two seasons. He recorded just 12 receptions for 186 yards and a touchdown in 2019.

The Eagles, after having no downfield passing attack at all last season, have committed fully to adding some speed on the outside for Carson Wentz. After drafting Jalen Reagor, trading for Goodwin and retaining DeSean Jackson, Philly now has three receivers who should be able to stretch defenses and open shots for Wentz downfield.

Whether Goodwin is actually an effective NFL receiver is up to interpretation. Aside from his strong 2017, which came almost entirely in the second half that season, Goodwin has been a minor contributor in his NFL career. He has only topped 500 yards once in seven seasons.

The Eagles didn't pay much in opportunity cost here, so the deal works for both sides as the 49ers probably would have cut Goodwin for cap space later this offseason.
