Since reports emerged about Davante Adams' desire to leave the Las Vegas Raiders and the franchise's willingness to facilitate a move for the superstar wide receiver, there's been a slew of reports linking the veteran to several top teams.

Among them is the Baltimore Ravens, which could be an ideal landing spot for Adams, considering he's keen on joining a team worthy of competing for the Super Bowl.

While rumors continue to swirl about the team making a move for the wide receiver, NFL insider Josina Anderson clarified that there has been nothing to report on that front.

When asked about the links between the three-time All-Pro and the reigning AFC North champions on X, she replied:

"I'm told there's 'nothing going on' with the #Ravens and #Raiders WR Davante Adams at this time, per source. Yesterday I was also told there was nothing to report on this front. While the trade market is generally fluid, that's the tone right now."

While there may be nothing official in the works yet, Adams has made it clear that he'd welcome a move to Baltimore.

Davante Adams to Ravens: WR keen on team-up with Lamar Jackson

Back in January, Sirius XM Radio's Amber Theoharis asked Davante Adams if he'd be open to playing alongside Lamar Jackson if it guaranteed a Super Bowl ring at the cost of an underwhelming statistical season by his lofty standards. He replied:

"I've had big seasons, man. I don't necessarily need [another]. That'd feel great... But if you give me a [Super] Bowl and get to get out there with Lamar and have fun, I think I might take that."

On Friday, Adams seemingly dropped another hint on Instagram that he'd be open to joining the Ravens. He posted a picture of Edgar Allen Poe on socia media, who is best known for his narrative poem "The Raven."

It's unclear whether the wide receiver is stirring the pot with his post or whether he's keen on teaming up with Jackson. It remains to be seen where Adams ends up.
