Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was arrested early Monday morning in Tampa, Florida, on a misdemeanor trespassing charge, according to records from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
Addison was taken into custody by the Seminole Police Department at 3:46 a.m. at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa. He was charged with trespass in an occupied structure or conveyance, a misdemeanor. Police records show Addison was booked at 7:33 a.m. and later released on a $500 bond at 2:40 p.m.
Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell acknowledged the arrest Tuesday during his season-ending news conference but said the team is still gathering information.
“I don't want to speculate on that in any way, shape or form,” O’Connell said. “We have to get as many facts and find out exactly what happened. Speculating at this point would be incredibly premature for me.”
The arrest marks the latest off-field issue for Addison. Eighteen months ago, he was arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of driving under the influence. That case was resolved with a no-contest plea to a reduced “wet reckless” charge, resulting in a fine and required online courses. Addison was later suspended by the NFL for the first three games of the 2025 season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. In July 2023, he was also cited by the Minnesota State Patrol for driving 140 mph in a 55 mph zone.
Addison has completed his third NFL season after being selected in the first round of the 2023 draft. He appeared in 14 games in 2025, making 12 starts and posting 42 receptions for 610 yards and three touchdowns, all career lows. One of his standout moments came in Week 17, when he scored a 65-yard rushing touchdown in Minnesota’s upset win over Detroit. Through three seasons, Addison has totaled 175 catches for 2,396 yards and 22 touchdowns.
The Vikings must decide by May 1 whether to exercise the fifth-year option on Addison’s rookie contract. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said the organization remains supportive of the receiver but stopped short of addressing his long-term future.
“Jordan is unique because 99 percent of the days that Jordan Addison is a Viking, he is a joy to be around,” Adofo-Mensah said. “He is incredibly intelligent, confident, responsible. Then, like all of us, it's what are you like on those one percent of days? Is it the type of thing that draws attention or not? That’s something we have to consider when you’re talking about long-term ramifications.”
