Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell said in their press conference Tuesday that they had recently heard about Addison’s arrest and declined to speculate further.
“Jordan is unique because 99% of the days Jordan Addison is a Viking, he is a pleasure to be around,” Adofo-Mensah said, via ESPN. “He’s incredibly smart, confident and responsible. And then it’s like all of us: What are you like in those 1% of the days? Is it the kind of thing that gets attention or not? Obviously, that’s something we have to consider when we talk about the long-term ramifications of a contract extension and different things like that or letting someone like Jalen Nailor walk away.
“We’ll have those conversations, obviously. Just a few days into the season and obviously this event just happened. But always supporting Jordan Addison. We’ll continue to investigate the facts and see what really happened, and then we’ll have those conversations in the future.”

Addison’s representative said the player’s legal team was already investigating the incident.
“On behalf of Jordan, his legal team has already launched the investigation, identified witnesses, and we are reviewing the feasibility of a false arrest lawsuit,” his agency said. “We look forward to the legal process and, after a full investigation, we are confident that Mr. Addison will be exonerated.”
Addison was suspended for three games to begin the 2025 season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy following a drunken driving arrest in 2024.
