The Facts: During the NFL Scouting Combine, coach Kyle Shanahan noted the 49ers wouldn't cut Goodwin but could be open to trading the wideout. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Friday that Goodwin has been discussed in trade talks, per sources informed of the situation.
Diehards Line:
The deep threat played nine games in 2019 before going on injured reserve with a knee injury. He had just 12 catches for 186 yards and one score in those nine bouts. Since busting out for 962 yards in 2017, the speedy wideout hasn't been the same, and injuries have kept Goodwin off the field for stretches. Still, NFL teams always scour for speed, and Goodwin has it in spades when healthy. The question is whether any team is willing to part with an asset for a player who has missed 12 games over the past two years. ... We'll find that out in coming days.
