Addison’s latest arrest comes 18 months to the day after he was arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of driving under the influence. He eventually resolved the citation by pleading no contest to “wet reckless,” a lesser charge. Addison was ordered to pay a fine and complete two online courses with the expectation that his probation would be shortened from 12 to six months.
The Vikings wideout was 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 just finished 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 caught 42 of 79 targets for 610 yards and three touchdowns, all career lows. His 65-yard rushing touchdown in the Vikings’ Week 17 upset of Detroit was a highlight of a playoff-less season in Minnesota.
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 deal.
Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said Tuesday that the team is “supportive” of 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 is a joy to be around,” Adofo-Mensah said Tuesday. “He is incredibly intelligent, confident, responsible. Then, like all of us, it’s what are you like on those 1 percent of those days? Is it the type of thing that draws attention or not?
“Obviously, that’s something we have to consider when you’re talking about long-term ramifications of a contract extension or different things like that.”
