Ex-Bears Star Seals Contract with AFC North Team
On Friday, the Browns inked a deal with WR Marquise Goodwin, adding a veteran player with impressive speed and a decade of NFL experience to their offense. Goodwin boasts a solid track record, having played in 102 games with 44 starts and racked up 187 career receptions, 3,023 receiving yards, and 18 touchdowns. He has played for four teams throughout his 10-year career, starting with the Bills, who selected him in the third round of the 2013 draft. After spending his first four seasons in Buffalo, he played for the 49ers from 2017-19, the Bears in 2021, and now, the Browns.
During his 14-game run with the Bears in 2021, the 32-year-old Goodwin averaged 15.7 yards on 20 receptions and tallied 313 receiving yards, ranking fifth on the team. Primarily playing as WR3 behind Darnell Mooney and veteran Allen Robinson, Goodwin's unparalleled speed made him one of the Bears' most potent deep threats.
His impressive 4.27-second 40-yard dash time at the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine is a testament to his swiftness.
After leaving Chicago in 2022, Goodwin joined the Seattle Seahawks, where he served as a reliable rotational option alongside D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. He notched 27 receptions�his highest total since the 2017 season with the San Francisco 49ers�for 387 yards and four touchdowns during Geno Smith's standout campaign.
Moving forward, Goodwin will strive to make an impact with the Browns, competing on a depth chart that features Amari Cooper, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Elijah Moore, and 2022 third-round pick David Bell.
