There aren't even any pictures on file of Marquise Goodwin in Eagles garb.

Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin is no longer on the Philadelphia Eagles' roster, after his contract reverted back to the San Francisco 49ers. Yeah, I don't know what that means either. Field Yates of ESPN tries to explain:

This is unique: WR Marquise Goodwin has now reverted back to the 49ers from the Eagles per terms of the trade made last year. This will likely be just a procedural move, as it’s unlikely Goodwin fits into San Francisco’s WR plans.

Yeah, I still don't know what that means. Whatever. The bottom line is that Goodwin's name has been scrubbed from the Eagles' roster, and he doesn't work there anymore.

The Eagles traded for Goodwin during the 2020 NFL Draft, when they moved back 19 spots in the sixth round with the Niners to acquire him. Goodwin subsequently was a COVID opt-out for the 2020 season. And guess what! The Eagles get a pick back!

Per terms of the Marquise Goodwin-to-#Eagles trade last year, Goodwin reverts back to the #49ers, the NFL announced Tuesday.

The 49ers must send the Eagles their original seventh-round pick this year. S.F. now has nine draft picks.
