Minnesota Vikings' Jordan Addison contract talks and Jordan Mason praised for shape

Wide receiver Jordan Addison's future with the Minnesota Vikings is under close scrutiny after the team exercised his fifth‑year option and retained control of his contract for the next two seasons. The franchise’s negotiations are expected to be influenced by the recent $140 million, four‑year deal signed by fellow 2023 first‑rounder Zay Flowers, which set a new benchmark for rookie receivers.

Running back Jordan Mason arrived at the Vikings' 2025 training camp in noticeably better physical condition, having shed weight during the offseason. Coaches Wes Phillips and head coach Kevin O'Connell highlighted his improved shape and mindset, noting his strong performance in the previous season—159 carries for 758 yards and six touchdowns—earning him a two‑year, $10.5 million contract extension.
