The New York Jets will look to get their season back on track on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills.
After beginning the season 2-3 and suffering two-straight losses, owner Woody Johnson made the decision to fire coach Robert Saleh. Now, former defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will take over as the team's interim head coach.

Prior to Saleh's firing, the Jets were reportedly interested in trading for Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams.
Now, even though the Jets have had a rough stretch, and Saleh is gone, come the questions every Jets watcher is pondering. And yes, the team seems to still have interest in Adams, according to a new report from Tashan Reed, Rice Tafur and Dianna Russini of The Athletic.
"The Jets have been pegged as the favorite to land Adams," said Reed, Tafur and Russini. "Adams and Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers have both stated publicly that they’d like to reunite one day after enjoying eight years of success together with the Green Bay Packers. And despite firing coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday after a 2-3 start, the Jets have continued talks with the Raiders about making that happen, according to league sources."
While the team may be looking to go in a new direction after their slow start, their interest in Adams does not seem to have gone away. It's not too surprising considering, as the reporters mentioned, Adams and Rodgers had a close relationship in Green Bay.

In eight seasons on the Packers, Adams totaled 8,121 yards and 73 touchdowns. He was also a two-time first-team All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler in Green Bay.
