T.J. Edwards turned a career year with the Eagles into a lucrative free-agent contract with the upstart Chicago Bears. The former Wisconsin linebacker may be in another city, but he’s already singing the praises of his new dual-threat quarterback. Justin Fields was all the rave down the stretch last season, putting on some tremendous performances, including giving the Philadelphia defense fits. During a recent sit-down with SiriusXM NFL Radio, Edwards compared Fields to Hurts, discussing the similarities. Edwards talked about Fields and his penchant for being cool and calm in the pocket. “One thing with Jalen (Hurts) was he was always just kind of calm and collected,” Edwards said on SiriusXM NFL Radio earlier this week. “That’s why we looked to him so much, just because he was always that calming factor. You do see similarities with (Justin) Fields. He doesn’t seem to get rattled out there in terms of when we’re mixing up looks on him and stuff like that.” Fields led all NFL quarterbacks with 1,143 rushing yards, but the Bears didn’t trade up for the former Ohio State star to portray a running back. Chicago will look for Fields to improve as a passer after he threw for 2,242 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Like Hurts, Fields will take the next steps as a passer with improved personnel surrounding him.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
