Minnesota Crisis Continues With Cryptic Jordan Addison IG Post

Despite a 5-0 start to the season, the sky is seemingly falling for the Minnesota Vikings. Losers of two straight games, one of which cost them their standout left tackle of the season, things can’t get much worse. Good?

Yeah!

As soon as vikings Fans thought the vibes were hitting a low point, wide receiver Jordan Addison said, “Hold my beer.” The talented second-year pro took to social media with a cryptic, old Instagram post to express his frustration over his lack of participation this year.

As this X user (formerly known as Twitter) points out, Minnesota’s house of cards is collapsing. It’s bad enough that the Vikings have lost back-to-back games and will be without stalwart blindside protector Christian Darrisaw. for the rest of the year. Now, the team has a disgruntled receiver on its hands.

Addison’s 23 goals in five games rank 117th in the league. To put it in context, he’s caught between a pair of Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams and outside receiver Tyler Johnson. Therefore, their discontent is not without reason. However, publicly airing your grievances is not an appropriate way to conduct business, nor will it provide you with additional opportunities.

Perhaps Addison’s slow start and lack of appearance can be attributed to her health, or lack thereof, for lack of better conditions. He recently sprained each of his ankles (left in training camp and right in Week 1). We’re not medical professionals here at FanSided, but we’d like to think that soccer players need their legs to be fully functional to perform well.

With 14 receptions, 231 yards and a touchdown to his name, Addison is about to regress considerably after showing as a rookie in 2023. However, the Vikings’ offense has noticeably more mouths to feed this season, meaning the drop in volume it is not particularly shocking. Between the addition of dual-threat running back Aaron Jones in the offseason and the emergence of Jalen Nailor, Minnesota has more weapons at its disposal. Plus, the fact that all-world wide receiver Justin Jefferson is on the field and not missing seven games like he did last year certainly changes the dynamic.

Still, the Vikings spent a first-round pick on Addison for a reason. He has the skills to make a difference and they must find ways to get him the ball.
