The Davante Adams saga has a new chapter. Enter: Edgar Allan Poe.
Four days after reportedly requesting a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders, the star wide receiver posted a picture of the famed poet on social media, which immediately sparked a ton of conversation online.
Was the Poe post meant to allude to a potential trade partner? Fans were quick to point out that Adams could be making a subtle nod to having his sights set on Baltimore, as one of Poe’s most famous works is titled “The Raven.”
However, NFL Insider Albert Breer believes this is all part of Adams’ plan to secure a trade to the New York Jets, which would reunite him with veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers — his teammate from 2014-21 with the Green Bay Packers.
“I think the Raiders need to drum up a market because other teams involved in this are convinced that he’s trying to engineer a move to the Jets,” Breer said on Friday’s edition of “The Herd.” “For this to happen, he may need other teams involved. The Bills have inquired … the Steelers are involved … [and] you’ve got the Saints, who are on the periphery of the whole thing. They were one of the teams that Davante Adams told the Raiders he would be happy [being traded to] given that they, like the Jets, have a quarterback that he knows very well in Derek Carr.
“If the Steelers and the Bills are skeptical that they’re gonna be taken seriously in this whole thing — they’re not gonna wanna be used as pawns. So how do you figure out what the real value of the player is, if you’re the Raiders, if you only have one bidder? … I don’t think [the return] is gonna be huge here. … I think the value here is probably a third- or a fourth-round pick. … If you’re the Raiders … and teams are saying, ‘We’re monitoring this, but we don’t want to give you a hard offer yet because we think he’s going to the Jets,’ … [you] might want to find somebody to bid that up a little bit.”
