MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Vikings receiver Jordan Addison was arrested early Monday in Tampa, Fla., and charged with first-degree misdemeanor trespassing.

According to Hillsborough County arrest records, Addison was detained by Seminole Indian Police at 3:46 a.m. at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. He was charged with trespassing in an occupied structure or conveyance. A spokesperson for the Seminole Indian Police said additional details were not yet available.

Addison was released in the afternoon after posting a $500 cash bond.

“I just learned about that very, very recently,” coach Kevin O’Connell said at a previously scheduled Tuesday news conference.

“I don’t want to speculate on that in any way, shape or form. I do think we have to get as many facts and find out exactly what happened,” he said.

Addison’s agent, Tim Younger, did not respond to a request for comment, but posted a statement on social media: “On Jordan’s behalf, his legal team has already initiated the investigation, identified witnesses, and we are reviewing the viability of a claim for false arrest. He looks forward to the legal process and upon full investigation, we are confident Mr. Addison will be exonerated.”

This is the latest off-field incident involving Addison, the Vikings’ 23-year-old first-round pick in 2023.

Addison, who was benched for part of the Vikings’ Oct. 5 win over the Browns in London for missing a walkthrough, also served a three-game suspension at the start of the 2025 season, an NFL punishment stemming from a 2024 DUI arrest. Just months after being drafted 23rd overall out of USC in 2023, Addison was cited for driving 140 miles per hour in a 55 mile-per-hour zone on Interstate 94 in St. Paul, Minn.

General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah was asked about how Addison’s off-field incidents could impact their decisions at receiver, a position where an ascending talent, Jalen Nailor, is a free agent in March.

By this spring, the Vikings also must decide on Addison’s fifth-year option. He’s under contract through 2026, but the team can add 2027 to his deal in lieu of a negotiated extension.

“I don’t want to speak too deeply about it,” Adofo-Mensah said, “but obviously any decision you make with Nailor or anybody else is about the short-term and long-term of that room.

“Jordan is unique because 99% of the days Jordan Addison is a Viking. He is a joy to be around. He is incredibly intelligent, confident, responsible and, like all of us, what are you like on 1% of those days? Is it the type of thing that draws attention or not?

“Obviously, that’s something we have to consider. 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.”

On the field, Addison had career-low marks this season in catches (42), yards (610) and touchdowns (three), while the Vikings’ passing game struggled.
