Jordan Addison has worked in California for almost a year. Now the Wide Receiver of the Minnesota Vikings accepted his punishment, which means that he threatens additional sanctions on the part of the NFL.
According to his lawyer, Addison advocated “No Contest” on Thursday with regard to the complaint against him. The former first round pick of the Vikings admitted that they had driven under the influence of alcohol in July 2024. A police officer in West Los Angeles found him sleeping at the time of his Rolls-Royce, who blocked a road.
The court hearing in front of a jury should therefore actually begin on Tuesday, but at that time the negotiations on the admission of guilt were already underway. After the notification of contesting the complaint, Addison was finally sentenced to a probation penalty of twelve months and a fine of $ 390. He also has to take two online courses, which could halve the probation penalty.
Addison’s Agent Tim Younger also assumes that the Vikings will not be disadvantaged by his clients because of this judgment. “He has kept the organization up to date throughout the legal proceedings and will continue to work entirely to be a valuable member of his team,” wrote Younter on X.

NFL “followed” Addison case “
Should Minnesota actually tick off the incident from last year, Addison would still be dependent on the grace of the NFL. The guidelines of the league regarding an offense due to driving under the influence of alcohol are hardly allowed. In the event of a violation for the first time, the malefactor – as long as there are no mitigating circumstances – is documented with a three -game lock according to the statutes.
After the judgment, they still left it open whether those responsible take advantage of Addison. “We have attentively pursued all developments in this matter that is still being examined,” said Thursday only in a statement by the NFL.
