Addison’s latest arrest comes 18 months after he was arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of driving under the influence. He eventually settled the citation by pleading no contest to “wet recklessness,” a lesser charge. Addison was ordered to pay a fine and complete two online courses with the hope that his probation would be reduced from 12 months to six months.
The Vikings were eventually suspended by the NFL for the first three games of the 2025 season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
In July 2023, Addison was also cited for speeding and reckless driving by the Minnesota State Patrol for going 140 mph in a 55 mph zone.
Addison completed his third NFL season after being selected by the Vikings in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. In 14 games played (12 starts), Addison was 42 of 79 for a career-low 610 yards and three touchdowns. His 65-yard touchdown catch in the Vikings’ Week 17 upset of Detroit was the highlight of Minnesota’s non-playoff season.
Through three years, Addison has 175 receptions for 2,396 yards and 22 TDs.
Minnesota has until May 1 to exercise Addison’s fifth-year option on his rookie contract.
Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said Tuesday the team supports Addison but declined to speculate on his future with the club.
“Jordan is unique because 99 percent of the days that Jordan Addison is a Viking, he’s a joy to be around,” Adofo-Mensah said Tuesday. “He’s incredibly intelligent, confident, responsible. So, like all of us, is that how you are in that 1 percent these days? Is that the type that attracts attention or not?
“Obviously, that’s something we have to keep in mind when you’re talking about the long-term implications of a contract extension or anything like that.”
