Fifth-year option made official The Vikings exercised Addison's fifth-year option Monday.

Impact Vikings EVP of football operations Rob Brzezinski said last month that the team would be making this move, and it's now official. Addison will earn $18 million in 2027 as a result. The 23rd overall pick in the 2023 Draft, Addison has shown flashes of big-time playmaking ability during his first three seasons, but he was also a victim of extremely poor quarterback play during the 2025 campaign. With Kyler Murray now in town to compete with J.J. McCarthy (hand), the Vikings are banking on more competency under center, which should obviously help Justin Jefferson and Addison produce better numbers in the box score.

Fifth year option to be exercised Executive Vice President of Football Operations Rob Brzezinski noted Monday that the Vikings plan to exercise their 5th-year option on Addison's contract.

Impact Once they do so, Addison -- who was the 23rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft -- would remain under contract with the Vikings through the 2027 season. In 14 regular-season games in 2025, the 24-year-old compiled a 42/610/3 receiving line (on 79 targets) while working alongside top WR Justin Jefferson. QB consistency was an issue that impacted the duo's production last year, but the signing of Kyler Murray (formerly of the Cardinals) earlier this month could lead to an uptick in Addison's 2026 upside, should Murray earn the starting job over J.J. McCarthy, and in the process engineer a bounce-back effort following his change of scenery.

Impact With the charge being dropped, Addison is unlikely to face any discipline from the NFL. Addison has now had three brushes with the law since entering the league as a first-round pick in 2023, as he previously plead guilty to a misdemeanor speeding charge related to a July 2023 incident and was also arrested on a DUI charge in 2024. When available, the 23-year-old wideout has been in a complementary role behind No. 1 receiver Justin Jefferson, but Addison's off-field issues could play a part in whether Minnesota decides to exercise the fifth-year option on his rookie contract this spring. If exercised, the team option is expected to fully guarantee Addison around $17.5 million for the 2027 season, per OverTheCap.com.

New details of Jordan Addison's arrest won't win him any sympathy As expected, at some point, more details of Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison's recent arrest in Florida have come out.

JANUARY 15 • THEVIKINGAGE.COM

Charged with misdemeanor trespassing Addison was arrested Monday morning in Tampa, Florida and charged with a misdemeanor trespassing, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.

Impact Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said Tuesday at his annual end-of-season presser that the team is "always supportive of [...] Addison" but that the 2023 first-round pick's off-field incidents are "something we have to consider when you're talking about long-term ramifications of a contract extension and different things like that." Minnesota will have to make a decision about the potential fifth-year option of Addison's rookie deal this offseason, and No. 3 wide receiver Jalen Nailor is also a pending free agent. While Monday's arrest may not result in league discipline or be a major factor in the Vikings' decision regarding an extension, it is notable that this marks the wideout's third such incident since entering the NFL. He plead guilty to a misdemeanor speeding charge relating to a July of 2023 incident and arrested for DUI in 2024. Addison was also suspended the first three regular-season games of the 2025 campaign for violating the NFL's substances of abuse policy.
