Addison DUI trial set for today in Los Angeles
Could get a 3-game suspension possibly. Pleading not guilty. Both charge are misdemeanors. The related complication comes from the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. Baseline punishment for first offense DUI is a three-game suspension.
Addison is going to plead out to a lesser offense....its possible this keeps him off a 3 game suspension. Maybe now just 1 or 2 games.

NFL now expected to rule on Jordan Addison’s discipline:

A year after his initial DUI citation, Vikings WR Jordan Addison will plead guilty to a lesser offense. Now we will see how the NFL reacts.

Today , after careful consideration of the charges against him and all defenses, Jordan Addison decided to plead to a lesser included vehicular offense, commonly referred to as a “wet reckless.” As a result, Mr. Addison will pay a standard fine and complete two online courses after which we expect that his probation will be terminated early in six months. Over the past year, he voluntarily participated in MADD events and programs and, after reflection, decided to enter this plea understanding the ramifications of this decision. He has kept the organization apprised throughout these legal proceedings, and will continue in his full commitment to being a valuable member of his team.
