The Las Vegas Raiders signed new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a three-year contract on Monday. But, standout receiver Davante Adams seemed to be conflicted about the decision. On Monday afternoon, he shared the following statement on his Instagram story: "Don't bother me about this s—- if we haven't communicated in the previous three weeks. Thanks, "Adams penned a letter. This may or may not be about Garoppolo, but it comes at a bad moment for the team. Adams may have desired a reunion with former Packers colleague Aaron Rodgers, who is still undecided about his future. Perhaps the communication is absolutely irrelevant and just happened at the wrong time. Who can say? We do know that Adams traveled to Las Vegas to play with his former college teammate Derek Carr. It clearly didn't work out, as Carr was released in February and signed with the New Orleans Saints following a disappointing 6-11 season. Rodgers was said to be interested in joining the Raiders, but Garoppolo's contract puts an end to that. Adams agreed to a five-year, $140 million contract extension with the team in March, so he's committed for the foreseeable future.

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.
