“Everything's out of my control” - Jordan Addison mentally braces for NFL's verdict 12 days after pleading guilty to DUI-related charge

Jordan Addison’s DUI case from July 2024 has officially been resolved, but the NFL’s verdict is still pending. On July 17, 2025, Addison pleaded no contest to a reduced charge known as “wet reckless," which is a California misdemeanor acknowledging alcohol involvement without a DUI conviction.

League policy suggests a three-game suspension for a first alcohol-related offense.

The incident took place on July 12, 2024, near LAX, Los Angeles. Addison was found asleep at the wheel of a white Rolls-Royce, blocking traffic on I-105.

The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher.

"While Mr. Addison's case would have made for a great trial, I admire him for taking responsibility by accepting the City Attorney's 'wet reckless' offer. Now he can put this incident behind him and solely focus on his promising career," Jacqueline Sparagna, Jordan Addison's attorney said, as reported via Sports Illustrated.

Sparagna made the statement after Addison pleaded no contest to a reduced charge.
