A week or so after it looked like it might, potentially, be another rough offseason for Minnesota Vikings reciever Jordan Addison, it appears that things are going to be a lot smoother than anticipated.
Per Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, charges are not going to be filed against Addison stemming from an incident in a Florida casino last week. Addison will now, apparently, be filing a civil claim arising from what is now being deemed as a wrongful arrest.
Addision was arrested and charged with trespassing at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino just over a week ago. The charge was a first-degree misdemeanor that saw Addison post a $500 bond in Hillsborough County to secure his release.
It would have been Addison’s third offseason arrest in his three seasons with the Vikings and could have, potentially, gotten him in more trouble with the league. He had to serve a three-game suspension to start this past season after agreeing to a plea deal for the incident that saw him fall asleep behind the wheel of his vehicle and block traffic near LAX, and another incident. . .particularly one that could have involved substance abuse. . .could have gotten him significant discipline from the shield. However, it appears that will not be an issue.
With this incident, apparently, no longer an issue, hopefully this will be the last time we have to post anything about Addison until this April, when the team will have to make its decision as to whether or not they will pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. Hopefully Addison will keep himself far away from any sort of situations that could, potentially, have him in any sort of legal hot water going forward.
