Minnesota Vikings Exercise Jordan Addison's Fifth-Year Option to Extend Contract Through 2028 The Minnesota Vikings have officially exercised Jordan Addison’s fifth-year option, securing the wide receiver’s contract through the 2028 season. The decision was announced by the team on Monday, confirming that the former first-round pick will remain with the franchise beyond his current deal. Addison, selected 23rd overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, has emerged as a key contributor to the Vikings’ passing attack, showcasing his talent and versatility over his first three seasons. Addison’s impact has been evident since his arrival in Minnesota. In his rookie season, he made an immediate impression, earning a spot on the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team. He tied Sammy White for the second-most receiving touchdowns by a Vikings rookie receiver with 10, while also ranking second in receptions among rookie wideouts with 70 catches. His 911 receiving yards ranked third in team history for rookies, highlighting his role as a reliable target for quarterback Justin Jefferson. The 2024 season presented challenges for Addison, as a lingering ankle injury sidelined him for two games. Despite the setback, he still managed to produce 63 receptions for 875 yards and 10 total touchdowns (nine receiving and one rushing). His resilience was on full display during a pivotal matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, where he and Jefferson formed the first Vikings receiver duo to each record at least 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns in a single game. This partnership underscored Addison’s ability to thrive in high-pressure situations and elevate the team’s offensive capabilities. Addison’s contributions have continued to grow in his fourth season.#minnesota_vikings #st_paul #jordan_addison #rob_brzezinski #interim_general_manager
