Before becoming a free agent, Josh Freeman had transferred from one team to another, continually uncertain, wondering what the future would hold for him. He was a quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Indianapolis Colts, and the Brooklyn Bolts.
It would not be surprising if his free agent status would hurt him financially before landing a new contract. This means that his Tampa estate, worth $2 million, could top the list of prime properties up for sale sooner than expected. It has 6 bedrooms, 5 baths, a home cinema, a spa, and a huge pool, all in a 5,837 sq. ft. home.
Darrelle Revis – Range Rover Evoque, Estimated $50K
Darrelle Revis is currently a free agent, and on the lookout for a team that might be better suited to him. But this doesn’t mean he is in need of a financial boost of any kind. He is smart enough to forecast such gaps between employments, and has tucked away a fair bit from when he played for teams like the New York Jets, New England Patriots, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a cornerback.
Revis, in fact, has an extensive collection of cars, which includes his Range Rover Evoque, worth $50K. It is colored blood red -an eye-catcher, bold, and dashing.
Jason Taylor – Rancho Sante Fe, Estimated $4.5 Million
Jason Taylor has dedicated 15 years of his life competing in the NFL, mainly for the Miami Dolphins. He is a former defensive end and outside linebacker. His many achievements include being seventh on the all-time career sack list, with a total of 139.5.
During his tenure with the league, Taylor was able to grow his bank account to bulging proportions, which allowed him to purchase such a magnificent mansion as the one he currently owns, in Rancho Santa Fe. The estimate of his property’s value comes in at a whopping $4.5 million. It has 8 baths and a library, where he studies to improve himself. For recreation, the sprawling estate has a poker and billiard-game room. It also boasts 7 bedrooms, a wine cellar, and an infinity pool.
Kyle Long – Lake Forest, Estimated $2.5 Million
The Chicago Bears’ guard has been playing for his team since he joined the NFL. At 30 years of age, he is proud to say that he now owns a beautiful mansion, a product of pure hard work and commitment, quietly settled in Lake Forest.
It is a 6,238-square-foot estate, a Georgian-style house that is worth $2.5 million with 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, 4 fireplaces, a home theater, and a library. Just outside of his home lies a heated swimming pool to dip in and relax after training and competition, that can be way too physical at times.
Mario Williams – Buffalo, Estimated $3 Million
When Mario Williams shifted from a defensive end for the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills to being a free agent, he also decided to put his Buffalo mansion on the market. It is a classic insulation against an uncertain future, which often proves wise, even if a bit expected.
Williams’ 13,189 square foot estate offers 5 bedrooms, 7 baths and a chic vintage library. It may be something too precious to let go of for now, but certain decisions have to be made, and Mario Williams has that sagacious capacity, typical of men who bounce back stronger.
