Minnesota Vikings assess Jordan Addison contract as wide‑receiver market heats up

The Vikings recently gave offensive tackle Brian O'Neill a four‑year extension, solidifying the line ahead of the 2025 season.

The team’s next major contract decision involves wide receiver Jordan Addison. Addison, a former Ohio State star, posted 911 yards and 10 touchdowns in his rookie year but recorded only 610 yards and three touchdowns in 2025. His situation is complicated by the New Orleans Saints’ four‑year, up‑to‑$132 million deal for Chris Olave, which sets a high benchmark for wide‑receiver salaries. Vikings officials must decide whether to offer Addison a long‑term deal, potentially reshaping the roster and requiring other veteran cuts to stay under the salary cap.
