The Facts: The 49ers released Goodwin, a league source tells NBCSports' Matt Maiocco.

Diehards Line: No real surprise here. The 49ers traded Goodwin to the Eagles on draft weekend last offseason, but the receiver opted out of the 2020 season over COVID-19 concerns. Due to the conditions of the trade, Goodwin's rights revert back to the 49ers. It turned out to be procedural move, with Goodwin already released and available to sign with any interested suitor.
