SANTA CLARA
Womens Tom Rathman Jersey , Calif. (AP)The San Francisco 49ers rewarded wide receiver Marquise Goodwin for his career-best season by giving him a three-year
contract extension Thursday worth $20.3 million.Goodwin was one of San
Francisco’s best free-agent acquisitions last season when he signed a two-year
deal, giving the team a needed deep threat down the field. His play led the
49ers to lock him up through the 2021 season with the new deal that will
guarantee him $10 million, according to NFL Network.After putting up little
production in his first four seasons in Buffalo, Goodwin is excited for the
chance to remain in coach Kyle Shanahan’s system with Jimmy Garoppolo at
quarterback.”I definitely feel like this offense is good for me in a sense that
it allows me to be a football player,” he said. ”It gives me the opportunity to
be out there and make plays and that’s what you want in a scheme and a system.
It’s not just me. Everybody gets to shine. That’s what’s good about this
offense. It’s not a one-man wrecking crew. It’s not one guy making it happen.
It’s a lot of guys making opportunities to make plays.”The 27-year-old Goodwin
set career highs last season with 56 catches for 962 yards and scored two
touchdowns. The former Olympic long jumper had caught just 49 passes for 780
yards in four seasons with Buffalo.He also won the team’s Len Eshmont Award for
inspirational and courageous play and won the team’s Ed Block Courage Award
given to the player that exemplified a commitment to sportsmanship and
courage.It was a trying season off the field for Goodwin, whose premature son
died hours before he caught an 83-yard touchdown pass against the New York
Giants on Nov. 12, and whose biological father died days before he had 10
catches for 114 yards against Tennessee on Dec. 17.”From the minute Marquise
joined our team
Mike McGlinchey Jersey , he has shown us everything we want to see in a 49er,” general manager John Lynch said. ”He leads by example with a tremendous
work ethic, a trait that helped him expand his repertoire as a football player
and post his most successful season as a pro last year. Marquise earned this
extension by coming in every day focused on doing his job and, as a result, he
made himself and his teammates better.”Goodwin really excelled after Garoppolo
took over as quarterback last December. He had 29 catches for 384 yards and one
touchdown in five games with Garoppolo as the starter, tying for fifth in the
NFL in catches and ranking sixth in yards during those games.Goodwin was also
tracked with the fastest speed by a receiver on any catch last season according
to Next Gen Stats through SportRadar, running 21.68 mph on a 55-yard catch from
C.J. Beathard against Arizona on Nov. 5.He narrowly missed out on a 1

Countess. Goodwin has had at least four concussions in his career.”I was not
scared at all by any means,” he said. ”I know the game I play. It’s tough, it’s
physical. Things like that happen at some point. The people in the stands were
more scared than I was based on how it looked and me being unconscious for a few
seconds. I’m blessed for the opportunity to be healthy and go into 2018 with new
opportunities.”— With injuries already taking a toll in the secondary, the San
Francisco 49ers have asked Tarvarius Moore to lend a hand at his former
position.According to Eric Branch of the , Moore was lining up at free safety
during team workouts on Wednesday.Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh wouldn’t
commit to a full-time position change for Moore to safety. However, a broken
collarbone for Jimmie Ward and offseason shoulder surgery for D.J. Reed has left
the 49ers shorthanded at the position for the time being.“We’ll cross that
bridge when we get to training camp,” Saleh said. “… That’s something we love
about Tarvarius Moore. We drafted him knowing he has great versatility where he
can pay corner and safety. With him being back there at safety these
OTAs
Deion Sanders Jersey White , if he lights it up safety we’ll see it.”Moore, who played the position in college at Southern Mississippi, has been
primarily a cornerback with the 49ers.Moore, a third-round pick of the 49ers
last season, appeared in all 16 games for the team a year ago with two starts in
Weeks 16 and 17 at the right cornerback position.
