NFL players have a lot more in common than competing on the field, as you will also find them competing with each other against the finer things in life, such as their homes. More often than not, we are amazed at the incredible abodes these stars and their families find themselves in, and having the opportunity to check them out is even more interesting than the game of football itself. You may have seen a few of these homes already featured on MTV Cribs, but let’s take a look at the most incredible homes owned by NFL players themselves. One thing is for certain, it’s no secret why the bankruptcy rate for NFL players after retirement is so high…
Demarcus Ware, Outside Linebacker, Denver Broncos
Ware may have signed a 3 year contract for $30 million with the Denver Broncos, but here is one example of “playing it smart,” as this Texas home only cost about $2 million.

This home is a prime example of your money taking you a lot farther in the great state of Texas.
