EAGAN, Minn. -- No, Jordan Addison does not want to be traded. The Minnesota Vikings receiver said he's not upset with his number of targets this season, and he wasn't trying to imply otherwise in an Instagram story he posted over the weekend.
"People just try to make something out of anything," Addison said Monday. "It ain't nothing."
Early Saturday morning, Addison posted a photo on social media of his No. 3 jersey with the caption "Free 3" -- a message that led to widespread speculation. Addison, however, said Monday he's used the phrase for at least four years, beginning with his time at the University of Pittsburgh, and later posted a screenshot of an Instagram post from that time period to clarify.
