The 2014 football season begins this week with the annual kickoff game between Super Bowl champions the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers.
To honor the start of the 95th NFL season, Redfin compiled a list of four winning properties (one for each quarter of the game!) owned by current and former NFL players. Each one is currently on the market and can be all yours if the price isn’t out of bounds for your wallet.
LaRon Landry — Safety for the Indianapolis Colts
Address: 40546 SPECTACULAR BID PL
City: Leesburg, VA
Price: $2,200,000
Listed by: DeWanda Jefferson, Keller Williams Realty
LaRon Landry’s manse is ready to sell at $2.2 million! The football player snatched up the gorgeous five-bedroom, five-bathroom home for $2.3 million seven years ago, around the same time he was selected in the 2007 NFL draft for the Washington Redskins.
Landry wasn’t playing around when he purchased the stunning 7,740-square-foot home, which includes a billiards room, home theater and an impressive gym! It makes sense that the safety listed the estate this past May; the player signed a $24 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts last March, so it must be time for an upgrade!
Jeff Garcia — Former American and Canadian quarterback
Address: 17267 Calle Mayor
City: Rancho Santa Fe, CA
Price: $7,750,000
Listed by: Brian Williams, The Broker Network
Retired quarterback Jeff Garcia is looking to unload his luxurious lot for $7.75 million. The stunning Rancho Santa Fe estate is the perfect relaxing getaway for anyone looking to soak in absolute opulence. The beautiful abode has woodwork and wrought iron detail throughout; it even has a custom copper sink and a wine cellar with a reclaimed Mexican-tiled floor! The property also includes an outdoor pool with two waterfalls and an outdoor kitchen. Garcia scored the property in 2009 for $6.565 million.
Ryan Pickett — NFL free agent
Address: 18520 Old Coach Dr
City: Poway, CA
Price: $7,499,000

It would be hard for anyone to pass on this home!
NFL free agent Ryan Pickett listed his Poway, California, palace in August for $7.499 million. The enormous property spans 14,902 square feet and has 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms! Every square inch of the home was probably used by Pickett and his wife, who have six children. The super exclusive residence sits on three acres in the Heritage Golf Estates, a guard-gated community. The newly remodeled estate also has a home theater, wine cellar, gym and a sauna. The game-winning feature? A hair salon! Some of the outdoor amenities include a pool, spa, waterslide, waterfalls, a trampoline AND a playhouse! Pickett moved in on the crib in 2010, grabbing it for $3.5 million.
Keenan McCardell — Former Washington Redskins wide receiver
Address: 4918 Newpoint Dr
City: Fresno, TX
Price: $2,700,000
Listed by: Charmayne Lacewell, BHGRE Gary Green
The former Redskins football player is looking to ditch his Fresno, Texas, home for $2.7 million. The fabulous six-bedroom, 8.5-bathroom home is perfect for entertaining. McCardell’s manse has two studies, an exercise room, chef’s kitchen, home theater, poker room and three bars! If that doesn’t have you cheering for this spectacular crib, the outdoor amenities will! The property includes a cave in the backyard, which houses a custom-built pool, hot tub, bar and flat screen TV! The athlete can now relax in his living room or hot tub and still watch the game! Now that’s a game changer.
