Jordan Addison News: Maintains key role in WR corps
Addison is set to maintain his key role alongside Justin Jefferson in a Minnesota WR corps that added Jauan Jennings this offseason, Rob Kleifield of the team's official site reports.
The Vikings exercised Addison's fifth-year option in April, with the 2023 first-rounder now under contract with the team through 2027. Over the course of 14 regular-season games in 2025, Addison recorded a 42-610-3 receiving line on 79 targets, but issues with drops and subpar QB play didn't help his cause. With former Cardinal Kyler Murray now on board and viewed as the favorite start at quarterback in Week 1 over J.J. McCarthy, and Jennings likely to draw more defensive attention than prior WR3 Jalen Nailor, Addison profiles as a bounce-back candidate in 2026.
