-- Joe Staley Watch --
Sun Apr 21, 2019 --from FFMastermind.com
The Sacramento Bee reports 49ers OT Joe Staley is entering the final year of his six-year deal he signed in 2014, though he's undecided if he wants to continue playing beyond 2019 and into his late 30's. He hasn't had any discussions with 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan or GM John Lynch about his future beyond the coming season. He's slated to earn nearly $11 million this season, ranking 16th among left tackles. "But I've made it very clear to everybody that I want to play as long as I can," Staley said. "I still love the game, still feel like I can play at a high level. Still feel like I'm valued on the football team. I know it's my last year under contract, but I'm not worried about that. I'm just going to go out there and try and do everything I can to help us win games with this team."

-- Dalvin Cook Finally Fully Healthy --
Sat Apr 20, 2019 --from FFMastermind.com
The Pioneer Press reports Vikings RB Dalvin Cook is finally feeling like he's ready to roll again, after recovering from a torn ACL in 2017. "I'm getting back to how I used to feel," Cook said. "My confidence [is] out the roof. I feel great. I've had a great offseason." Cook had 444 yards from scrimmage through four starts as a rookie, before suffering the injury that sidelined him until 2018. Last year, chronic hamstring problems held Cook to 615 rushing yards and 305 receiving yards, in 11 regular-season games. He had only one 100-yard rushing performance. Cook thinks he can do much more this year. "I feel like the ceiling is real high for me," Cook said. "Everything I want is still in front of me. Everything I can do is still in front of me. I'm capable of doing a lot of things. I still haven't scratched the surface yet."

If anybody can recover from surgeries like this, it's Doug."
