Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell said at their news conference Tuesday that they had only recently heard of Addison’s arrest and declined to speculate further.
“Jordan is unique because 99% of the days when Jordan Addison is a Viking, he’s a joy to be around,” Adofo-Mensah said, via ESPN. “He’s incredibly intelligent, confident, responsible. And then it’s like all of us: How are you on the 1% of days? Is that the type of thing that attracts attention or not? Obviously, that’s something we have to consider when you talk about the long-term implications of a contract extension and different things like that, or letting someone like Jalen Nailor leave.
“Obviously we want to have those conversations. Just a few days into the season and obviously this event just happened. But we always support Jordan Addison. We’ll continue to find the facts and see what actually 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 Jordan’s behalf, his legal team has already begun the investigation, identified witnesses and we are investigating the viability of a false arrest claim,” his agency said. “He looks 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 start the 2025 season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, stemming from a 2024 DUI arrest.
