After starting the season 5-0, Minnesota has suffered two straight losses to the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams in back-to-back weeks. It appears the rough stretch is affecting some of the team, especially Jordan Addison.
The wide receiver went to Instagram to post a cryptic message that read, “FREE 3.”

Of course, every time a player does something like this, social media comes up with all kinds of different theories. This situation has proven no different.
“Vikings imploding? They’re having a great season, but some players genuinely rather have stats than see their team win,” said one comment.
“they told me receivers should just be happy that the team is winning sooner or later, y’all gon listen to me about receivers; they get the bag of THEIR production, not how well the team does,” said another.
“On a 5-2 team with a strong 1 that demands double coverage this has to mean throw me the ball more because the odds of ending up in a better situation like the other wrs that got traded are very slim,” added a third.
However, this message could mean nothing and is another instance of players messing with fans.
Jordan Addison Is Having A Solid Season
Considering that Justin Jefferson lines up on the same offense, it’s understandable that Addison won’t be putting together crazy numbers.
However, he has been very solid when given the chance. He has accumulated 14 receptions, 231 yards, and one touchdown in five games.
It’s also worth noting that Addison is in just his second season, and the Vikings organization has a lot of faith in him, considering they spent a first-round pick.
