The 10 Fastest Players In The NFL (1:31)

We've officially reached the point in the Davante Adams trade saga where he's posting cryptic messages on social media.  

Adams requested a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this week. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the All-Pro wide receiver would like to be traded to the New York Jets. He has expressed his desire to catch passes from Aaron Rodgers once again. If a deal with the Jets can't happen, he's open to other landing spots. 

Rapoport listed the New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers as potential landing spots. With that said, one of those teams may have separated from the pack. 

On Friday afternoon, Adams posted a picture of Edgar Allen Poe on his Instagram Story without any context. Some fans are convinced that he's hinting at a trade to Baltimore. 

After all, Edgar Allen Poe wrote "The Raven" in 1845. To this day, it's one of the most famous poems in American history.

Adams is still considered one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. Despite playing with a subpar quarterback room in 2023, he had 103 receptions for 1,144 yards and eight touchdowns. 

The Raiders reportedly want at least a second-round pick in return for Adams. If teams are willing to meet that price, there could be a bidding war for his services. 

For now, we'll try to decipher what Adams is posting on social media. Either he's heading to the Ravens or he's just a big fan of Edgar Allen Poe's work.
