Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Jordan Addison pleaded guilty to a lesser vehicular offense earlier this offseason, after being charged with driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol last year.
“Today, after careful consideration of the charges against him and all defenses, Jordan Addison decided to plead to a lesser included vehicular offense, commonly referred to as a ‘wet reckless.’
“As a result, Mr. Addison will pay a standard fine and complete two online courses after which we expect that his probation will be terminated early in six months.
“Over the past year, he voluntarily participated in MADD events and programs and, after reflection, decided to enter this plea understanding the ramifications of this decision.
“He has kept the organization apprised throughout these legal proceedings, and will continue in his full commitment to being a valuable member of his team,” the Law Offices of Younger & Associates, which represented Addison, said in a statement.
Now, the NFL has decided on how to punish Addison, according to one league insider.
“Discipline: NFL suspended Vikings WR Jordan Addison for the first three games of the 2025 regular season for violating the league’s Substances of Abuse Policy. Addison now will miss games at Chicago, vs. the Falcons and vs. the Bengals,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.
It’ll be interesting to see how Minnesota does in Addison’s absence.
