Aaron Rodgers- California
Aaron Rodgers started his career playing football in California. He played college football there and quickly became quite well-known. He was drafted in the NFL in 2005 and played for the Green Bay Packers. To be near his team, Rodgers lived in Green Bay at first. However, he missed his own hometown (or home state) and decided to move back. His place of residence? A not-so-modest mansion, which also just happens to have an Olympic-size pool.
Peyton Manning- Denver
There was a time when the mention of Peyton Manning’s name evoked a sense of awe. Deemed a cut above the rest, the former star quarterback Manning played for teams like the Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts, teams which have had taken home championships. Therefore, it’s unsurprising that he would want nothing but the best even in retirement. This Chevy Hills Village property is estimated to cost a whopping $4.5 million and is massive, measuring almost 16,500 square feet. That’s a lot of room for the kids to roam. And by the way, it has seven bedrooms, in case you weren’t already impressed.
Randy Moss – New England Patriots
The legendary Randy Moss has very recently put his Lincoln home in Rhode Island up for sale. Moss, a six-time participant of the Pro Bowl, owns a modern-style home which is 3,846-square-foot big and sits on a 4-acre land. The home, which has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, includes walls and floors that are wooden yet trendy. Saying this property is not lacking in size is definitely an understatement.
Tony Romo – Dallas
Former quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Romo played for only one team in the entirety of his career, which was 14 years long. This is quite uncommon for the NFL because players usually get traded around from one team to another, but Romo’s mansion worth as much as nine huge ones might give you a clue as to the reason why. Yes, you heard it correctly. There are six bedrooms, a spectacular entertainment center, and an enormous outdoor area which the entire neighborhood can enjoy if the occasion calls for it. We don’t know about you but color us impressed.
Rob Gronkowski – Boston
NFL players’ luxurious lifestyles may irk some people, but there is no denying that being on the field is gruelling for these players and it takes a lot for them to tough it out. Rob, like many NFL players, works hard on the field and also leads an extravagant lifestyle. His mansion, located in the Seaport District of Boston, is a whopping 2,063 square feet to be exact, and includes a fantastic private deck on the roof, which for us pretty much seals the deal, probably for Rob as well and anyone who appreciates beauty.
Kurt Warner – Scottsdale
The former quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals likes to spend his downtime and relax in his residence. This 11,000-square-foot home is situated in Scottsdale, Arizona and has seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a video game room, a home cinema, and a cabana. Talk about luxurious! Even if we are not football analysts, we are willing to bet everything we have that if he isn’t toiling, he is unwinding in his fancy home. Wouldn’t you? If you are still unimpressed, then don’t go anywhere because we have more on our list of mind-blowing mansions.
Russell Wilson – Bellevue
At first glance, this family home looks more like an upscale hotel. This property actually belongs to Russell Wilson, the quarterback of Seattle Seahawks, and his wife Ciara, the R&B singer. The couple and their daughter live here with their pets – two dogs. However, since the property is 10,700 square feet in size, there is no doubt they have enough space. With their combined earnings, the price for their home surely didn’t make any dent on their pockets. If this tickled your fancy, then stick around for other mansions that may just be as shocking, if not more.
Robert Griffin III – Aldie
When talking about luxury homes, there is a list of things that these homes should include – fantastic features such as those found in Robert’s house. He purchased his home, which measures 9,000 square feet, and we definitely approve, especially because of the trimmings that it contains. It has four bathrooms, five bedrooms, an indoor elevator, an entertainment room, a mudroom, a spa, and a wine cellar. Robert also has his own golf course in his property. However, the former quarterback is not playing currently, which may have forced him to sell this property, so if you are in the market for your very own luxury home, then you know where to look.
Marshawn Lynch – Richmond
Now this guy makes us think he and we are cut from the same property cloth! Nothing beats a property that is waterfront and Lynch saw to it that he wouldn’t pass up on the opportunity to own one, grabbing his chance by acquiring this home. This property measures 7,000 square feet – pretty sure my own house doesn’t do that if you looped it four times over. The major draw of this home is the amazing view Lynch wakes up to each morning – that of San Francisco Bay. What’s more is that he also owns a 58-foot dock for boats. Who do we sell our souls to for a chance to move in?
Matt Forte – Chicago
Head over to the River North neighborhood of Chicago. That’s where you’ll find the gorgeous home of Matt Forte, running back for the New York Jets. With more than 9,000 square feet, he has five bedrooms over four levels, six bathrooms and also an indoor elevator. Sounds like plenty of room, right? Wrong. Currently he is looking to expand it even further by 1,137 square feet! Yup, his lawyers are submitting papers for a zoning change as we speak.
Von Miller – Cherry Hills Village
When you have more than 800 pairs of shoes and over 150 pairs of eyeglasses it is logical to assume that you need A LOT of space for all of your personal effects. This is the reason Von Miller owns an impressive mansion in Cherry Hills Village in Colorado. It has seven bedrooms, one of which we are sure serves the sole purpose of storing all of his shoes. Nice work, Miller! It’s every shoe lovers dream!
Ryan Tannehill – Fort Lauderdale
Looks like the Miami Dolphins star quarterback knows what it is like to live the life of luxury. Seriously though who wouldn’t want to own a waterfront property in Fort Lauderdale? This place includes four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a media room and a gym so he can work on his fitness at home. Additionally, you have a very large pool and a guest house in the back. Now we know where to stay next time we’re in Miami.
Ndamukong Suh – Fort Lauderdale
Another Miami Dolphins star has paid big bucks to settle in his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The massive 11, 142 square foot home has everything and more so. The three-story house contains eight bedrooms, six baths, a huge kitchen of modern design and glorious floor to ceiling windows. Suh can literally put his feet up because the master suite comes with its own sitting room and soaking tub! Now that is luxurious living!
Julio Jones – Atlanta
When we look at some of the other prices these NFL stars are cashing out for their homes we think that Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons really got his money’s worth. The 8,000 square foot home in Atlanta has all the features of a luxurious home. Seven bathrooms, heated floors, pond, pool and a tennis court will leave nothing more for the heart to desire. What an absolute bargain this was!
Julius Peppers – Miami
Making the move from the Green Bay Packers to the Carolina Panthers we are sure that Julius will once more be in the market for a new property. Until then though, it is safe to say that his current Miami home will suffice. The 9,100 square foot Dutch-Caribbean style home is packed with eight bedrooms and just as many bathrooms, wine cellar, library, summer and chef’s kitchen as well as an infinity pool. We don’t care what it costs, we want it.
Ladainian Tomlinson – California
While many people all over the world could only dream of having a Californian home, San Diego Chargers former running back did just that. His 9,600 square foot property has everything anyone could ever dream of having within their home including a basketball court, huge pool, six bedrooms, five bathrooms, golf course, movie theatre and our personal favorite a wall-sized fish tank! We can say with certainty that he is enjoying his retirement right now.
Jerry Rice – California
Well we promised bigger mansions and Jerry Rice certainly delivers in that regard! This former New York Giants legend did the smart thing while playing in the NFL by investing in properties all over the place, but this Los Angeles estate is the place he calls home. With a massive 15,600 square feet, it boasts of nine bedrooms, a swimming pool, nine-bathroom, formal dining room, butler’s pantry and chef’s kitchen. Retirement never looked so good!
Elvis Dumervil – Florida
There have been bankruptcy rumors surrounding Elvis and this home due to the fact that nobody knows his living arrangements, but here’s hoping that has no truth to it. He apparently sold this 7,900 square foot Florida home to one lucky buyer. We say lucky because the mansions has seven bedrooms and just as many bathrooms, gaming room, resort-style pool wet bar as well as a home cinema. We certainly hope he got the price he wanted because that home looks like a dream to us!
Keyshawn Johnson – California
If you have some spare millions lying around you might want to give Keyshawn Johnson a call and make him an offer on his home, that is what it’s worth after all. He has played for quite a few teams over the years including The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, New York Jets and the Dallas Cowboys, but he is now enjoying his retirement. This Calabasas home boasts 11,746 square feet and has a sunken basketball court, six bedrooms and nine baths!
Patrick Wills – San Jose
Well Patrick might not have gone for as many bedrooms as some of the other NFL players, but he certainly cashed out just as much, if not for his home. The former linebacker of the San Francisco 49ers has a Mediterranean style home is equipped with four bedrooms, five bathrooms, game room and a home theater, resting on 4.3 acres of land. Love this mansion? Trust us when we tell you there are more with prices so high you won’t know what hit you!
Troy Polamalu – California
Troy really enjoys the finer things in life, from his cars to his home so it isn’t surprising that he invested in this 1.75-acre property in La Jolla, California. This home has all the amenities you need and more to live a comfortable day to day lifestyle. It has six bedrooms, eight baths, a media room and three fireplaces. Can you believe that a few years back Troy got bored and sold his house?
Adrian Peterson – Woodlands, Texas
We love an all-rounder and it seems that Adrian Peterson is just that! The New Orleans Saints running back bought this ginormous home spending over $5 million on it and for that he got himself six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a gaming room and a walk-in cellar. On top of all that the place has a two-story library which means that Adrian must really like his books.
Jason Taylor – Florida
It looks as though not all properties turn out to be a great investment as Jason Taylor found out. The Miami Dolphins star purchased this 10,247 square foot home for approximately $3.6 million dollars looking to settle down there, but quickly changed his mind.
Philip Rivers – San Diego
If you were a starting quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers like Philip Rivers is, especially with his ground breaking stats, we are sure you would want to invest in a luxurious home, so you can kick your feet up when you have a few minutes to spare. That is exactly what he does in his Santaluz development home which is located just north of San Diego. This huge property looks to be just the starting point because he just got his hands on another property recently.
Josh Freeman – Tampa, Florida
So, this guy might have changed teams here, there and everywhere, but it is because of this that he was able to afford this amazing Mediterranean-style home in Florida. It is a three-story home which stretches over 5,837 square feet. It has six bedrooms and a home cinema with a lot of other entertainment rooms which would suffice greatly for having family and friends over. We’re not sure as to why he decided to let go of the property, but he must have gone on to better investments.
Kyle Long – Lake Forest, Illinois
Kyle Long is the celebrated Chicago Bears guard who quite obviously does well for himself. Well enough, in fact, to be able to afford this home in Lake Forest. It sits on 6,238 square feet and is complete with five bedrooms, six bathrooms, gym, theatre as well as a three-car heated garage. It is reported that he managed to snag the house at a discounted rate proving just how much of a savvy businessman he actually is.
Mario Williams – Aurora, Buffalo
Mario has changed a few teams throughout the years including the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins which allowed him to purchase this mansion in Aurora. It features five bedrooms, enormous kitchen and various entertainment rooms and is positioned on 5.1 acres of land. In 2016 he listed it for some reason and made quite a return on the mansion. Nice work, Mario!
Cam Newton – Charlotte, North Carolina
It is always handy when professional sports people are able to invest their earnings because it is inevitable that their career on the field will one day end. This is what happened when quarterback Cam Newton did just that by purchasing his luxurious condo located in Charlotte. This property is part of the Trust building. It has three bedrooms and three baths with glorious wooden floors. The pool found on the rooftop is always a bonus as well.
Antonio Gates – Poway, California
Now we cannot fault this home at all, but it seems as with everything else people get sick of their surrounding from time to time needing a change. Antonio decided that is just what he needed when he listed his living space in 2017 in order to find a new home for himself. This place has five bedrooms, a huge kitchen and seven bathrooms! That’s one bathroom for every day of the week. Stick with us for even crazier mansion prices!
Joe Montana – Marina District, San Francisco
Sometimes when you get your hands on a lot of money it is easy to spend it without thinking things through. Joe Montana sold his Napa mansion and ended up downsizing to a home with two bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as a large kitchen and dining area. Sometimes smaller is sweeter.
Charles Woodson – Orlando, Florida
There is no better feeling than getting a great deal on something, be it clothing, homewares or a car, but can you imagine saving around a million dollars on your future investment? That is exactly what happened to Charles Woodson, the former cornerback and safety of the Green Bay Packers and Oakland Raiders. His 8,000 square foot home is a thing of beauty.
Chad Pennington – Southwest Ranches, Florida
Hey, Chad! Are you looking for roommates? This house looks killer. With 8,260 square foot, this ranch has literally everything you could imagine, such as a swimming pool, marbled bathrooms, barbeque area and also a water fountain! The former Miami Dolphins and New York Jets star has six bedrooms and bathrooms in his spectacular home. Must be nice.
Shaun O’Hara – Franklin Lakes, New Jersey
Meet Shaun, the former New York Giants center who owns a 7,520 square foot home in New Jersey. And guys, it has a library and spa! Seriously? That sounds like the house of a lifetime.
Michael Turner – Suwanee, Georgia
You don’t need to live on a beachfront mansion to enjoy the finer things in life! The former San Diego Chargers and Atlanta Falcons player has a sick mansion in Georgia. With six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a library, a huge pool, an office and six glorious fireplaces, this place looks like heaven. Oh it has four garages for all his cars too!
Matt Birk – Reisterstown, Maryland
When Matt Birk signed with the Ravens on a three year contract, he treated himself to his stunning Maryland mansion. It boasts of five bedrooms, six bathrooms and plenty of space no matter how guests you have over.
Cortland Finnegan – Brentwood, Tennessee
This two story mansion has a breathtaking staircase, five bedrooms, five baths, four fireplaces and even a three car garage. That could fit my entire family, along with extended relatives, a dozen times over.
Warren Sapp – Orange County, Orlando
I’m sorry but I can’t stop ogling this mansion. It’s seriously stunning. We can’t believe Warren Sapp sold it in 2012.
Jay Cutler – Winnetka, Illinois
This Illinois mansion is what dreams are made of. Although Jay Cutler and his family are only renting the five bedroom house, it’s a heck of a rental. Wouldn’t you agree?
Frank Gore – Davies, Florida
This Davies house boasts of six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a large swimming pool and even a theater room. We’d say Frank Gore is living the good life.
Troy Aikman – Texas
We’re pretty sure that Troy Aikman is enjoying life since retirement. I mean, look at his 10,000 square foot mansion! Which he actually sold and then chose to move to Europe!
Devin Hester – Riverwoods, Chicago
Once Devin Hester signed with the Atlanta Falcons, he chose to sell his Chicago mansion. With six bedrooms, it also has a hot tub, a pond and a tennis court set on 10,000 square feet. Wonder what his new house is like? Probably just as impressive.
Reggie Bush – Los Angeles
This looks seriously luxurious. We can’t believe Reggie Bush sold it after seven years! Guys, the master suite alone has a fireplace, a walk-in closet and a step-up soaking tub.
Patrick Peterson – Scottsdale
With one acres located in the gated Paradise Manor Estates community, Patrick Peterson has all the privacy and luxury he could ever ask for. Maybe he needs a roommate? Or a maid? Either way, I’m available!
Adam Podlesh – Libertyville, Illinois
Five bedrooms, a media room and also a workout room. Okay, I personally don’t care about the workout room but that doesn’t dismiss the fact that this mansion is killer.
Jeff Garcia – Rancho Santa Fe, California
This Mediterranean-style home doesn’t belong to Jeff Garcia anymore but when it was his, he was quite lucky! Why? Well just look at it! I don’t think we need to point out the obvious.
DeMarcus Ware – Denver
The retired Denver Broncos linebacker and defensive end bout this stunning home in the Denver neighborhood of Cherry Creek North. Which is ~not~ the cheapest property to buy in!
Deion Sanders – Texas
109 acres with its own massive lake? Yup, that sounds like Deion Sanders’ Texas property. One that has ten rooms, an indoor basketball court, a bowling alley and many more awesome amenities.
Carson Palmer – Del Mar
So in comparison to some of the other prices we have mentioned this is a little out of everyone’s league. Although it comes in smaller than Russell Wilson’s estate with only 8,000 square feet! Carson purchased the land in Del and went on to construct the home. We are betting that it will sell for probably half the construction cost if not more. Very clever, Carson. We see you!
Tom Brady – Brookline
What more could you ask for than to have a beautiful home worth $4.5 million in Massachusetts. Our reply to that would be to throw in Tom Brady and the beautiful Gisele Bündchen into the mix. Of course, this loving couple makes sure to relax in their amazing home whenever they get the chance to. And who wouldn’t? It has five bedrooms, an office complete with a library, sunroom, wine cellar and six bathrooms. Needless to say, we’re jealous!
Brandon Marshall – New York
We just spat out a little bit of our morning coffee looking at these amazing photos of Brandon Marshall’s home. The man signed a contract with the New York Giants, so it comes as no surprise that he allocated some serious dough for this massive mansion. If you love the place, it has been reported that he parted ways with the Southwest Ranches home in Florida and is now renting an apartment in New Jersey, but still keeping a keen eye out for a great property to come along.
Antonio Brown – Hollywood
Well now this is just the mansion to top all mansions! If we looked up the definition of the word in the dictionary we are sure it would reference Antonio Brown’s lovely, but definitely not small-scale home. Found in Hollywood Oaks it has an impressive twelve bedrooms, ten bathrooms, guest house, two pools, home cinema, office, media room, gym and an outdoor kitchen. The home even has a built-in synagogue! It sounds like we could get lost on his property!
Eli Manning – Quogue
When you buy a property in South Hampton, you’ve made it big. The three-story beachfront mansion boasts of five bedrooms, a huge pool, four bathrooms and a patio. Oh, he’s also lucky enough to have his very own private walkway to the beach.
J.J. Watt – Wisconsin
Located in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin, J.J. Watt owns a gorgeous cabin. He says that the cabin is really simple and doesn’t have the same fancy “trinkets” as other NFL players’ mansions do but that’s how he likes it.
Richard Sherman – Seattle, Washington
With 9,435 square feet, we’re not surprised to learn that this mansion contains an indoor swimming pool, floor-to-ceiling fireplaces, basketball court and beauty salon. Yeah, that’s right. It’s amazing.
Lance Briggs – Northfield
Retired Chicago Bears player Lance Briggs just sold his one-acre home in 2017! It features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an elevator, a three car garage, a walk-in wine cellar, and also a spacious basement “man cave”.
Michael Strahan – Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles, California is where you’ll find the 9,200 square foot home of Michael Strahan. And it’s just one of the homes he owns! This large Mediterranean-style mansion has a big pool and a gorgeous yard. With many bedrooms and bathrooms, it even has a professional chef’s kitchen.
Mike Singletary – Saratoga, California
5,000 square feet is enough to house 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Plus a pool, spa, an outdoor kitchen, and a wood-paneled den. And as the defensive leader of the 1985 Chicago Bears Super Bowl team, Mike Singletary can afford any house he wants.
Brett Favre – Sumrall, Mississippi
This Green Bay Packer needs no introduction, don’t even act like he does. Sumrall, Mississippi is where you’ll find his stunning mansion. Of the 465 acres he owns, 405 are high-fenced. Privacy, much? Well he’s earned it.
Vernon Davis – San Jose, California
7,259 square feet complete with six bedrooms and five bathrooms, this amazing house also includes a wine cellar, a recreation room, five(!) fireplaces, and a three-car garage. The Washington Redskins player is doing more than well for himself.
Nate Burleson – Newcastle, Washington
The former Seattle Seahawk player just sold his Newcastle, Washington home. Why? We don’t know! Although he can afford any home he really wants. The 8,871-square-foot house even has a home theatre, gym, and billiards room.
Colin Kaepernick – San Jose, CA
The Silver Creek neighborhood of Jan Jose is where you’ll find the home of this San Francisco 49ers player. Oh, this recently remodeled home has its own secluded private lot, complete with four bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms. And that’s not the best part, the open-concept house has 10-foot ceilings and also a massive backyard with a waterfall pool.
