The San Francisco 49ers have released wide receiver Marquise Goodwin, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.
The 49ers had traded Goodwin to the Philadelphia Eagles prior to the 2020 season, but he did not play a snap for the team after opting out of last year's campaign amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported that the NFL transaction wire revealed that Goodwin was reverted back to the 49ers.
NBC Sports Edge explained what that meant: "[The] Eagles swapped sixth-round picks with San Francisco in order to acquire Goodwin before he opted out of last season altogether.
