Vikings' Jordan Addison charged with trespassing after arrest - ESPN

EAGAN, Minn. — Minnesota Vikings receiver Jordan Addison was arrested early Monday morning and charged with misdemeanor trespassing in Tampa, Florida, according to police records.

It is his third brush with law enforcement since the Vikings made him the No. 23 selection in the 2023 draft.

Obviously that's something we have to consider when you're talking about long-term ramifications of a contract extension and different things like that, or letting somebody like Jalen Nailor leave.

»We'll have those conversations, obviously. Just a few days after the season and obviously this event just happened. But always supportive of Jordan Addison. We'll continue to fact-find and see what actually happened, and then we'll have those conversations in the future."
