"None of Jordan Addison 's three known brushes with the law have resulted in catastrophe. Late-night incidents haven't escalated the way they often do. Yet the news that the Minnesota Vikings and former USC receiver was arrested in Tampa, Fla., on trespassing charges Monday at 3:46 a.m. triggered a here-we-go-again reaction on social media while the Vikings hinted it might impact a potential contract extension."
"The incident came 18 months after the former USC star was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after the California Highway Patrol found him asleep behind the wheel of a Rolls Royce that was blocking traffic near Los Angeles International Airport. Addison pleaded not guilty to two driving while intoxicated charges before pleading no contest to a lesser charge of a "wet reckless." The NFL suspended him for the first three games of the 2025 season for violating the league's personal conduct policy."
""Jordan is unique because 99% of the days that Jordan Addison is a Viking, he's a joy to be around," Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said Tuesday at the team's postseason news conference. "He's incredibly intelligent, confident, responsible. And then it's like all of us: What are you like on those 1% of days? Is it the type of thing that draws attention or not?""
Jordan Addison was arrested in Tampa, Fla., on misdemeanor trespassing charges at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. The arrest follows two prior incidents: a DUI-related stop near Los Angeles International Airport where he pleaded no contest to a "wet reckless" and was suspended three games by the NFL, and a 140 mph speeding citation in Minnesota that resulted in a misdemeanor speeding guilty plea and fines. The Minnesota Vikings have signaled the arrest could affect a potential contract extension. Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah praised Addison's character most days while acknowledging concerns about rare problematic episodes.
