All NFL players score sizable
paychecks. But quarterbacks earn head and shoulders above the rest—and
they have the homes to prove it.
In anticipation of tomorrow’s big game, feast your eyes on the luxurious spreads of some of the league’s top field generals, from Peyton Manning’s sprawling estate in Denver to Tom Brady’s custom compound in Massachusetts.
Broncos offensive captain Peyton Manning—purchased a 16,464-square-foot mansion (pictured above) for $4.575 million in 2012, soon after sealing a five-year deal with the Colorado team.
Comprised
of seven bedrooms and 10 baths, Manning’s brick abode sits on a lush
3.4-acre swath in Cherry Hills Village, 20 minutes outside of the city.
Highlights of the three-story house include a well-lit sitting area, an
elevator, a new wine cellar, a grand balcony, a sprawling patio, and a
seven-car garage.
San Diego star Philip Rivers bought his Santaluz spread for $3.299
million in 2009—the same year he inked a six-year, $92 million extension
with the Chargers.
Apart from six bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths, the estate showcases a courtyard with a fountain, a built-in barbecue station, a swimming pool with a spa and waterfall, a wine cellar, a library, an outdoor fireplace, and private rose gardens.
Overlooking Lake Washington and downtown Seattle, Russell Wilson’s 10,700-square-foot mansion in Bellevue’s Meydenbauer Bay consists of seven bedrooms and seven baths, along with a wine cellar, a walk-in pantry, and five fireplaces.
The Seahawks frontman purchased the elegant Mediterranean-style home from Microsoft MSFT +0.83% manager Harish Naidu last September for $6.7 million, immediately after signing a four-year, $87.5 million contract with the team.

Cardinals’ Carson Palmer bought a half-acre lot from the city of Del
Mar in 2010 for $4.4 million, on which he proceeded to build a
8,000-square-foot entertainer’s paradise.
Completed last year, the three-story house—which he is now trying to unload for $24.995 million—features an infinity pool, a bocce ball court, a lower-level gym, an outdoor kitchen and wet bar, an oversized garage, and five hearths.
To boot, the full-floor master suite is outfitted with an indoor-outdoor shower, a freestanding soaking tub, and a private deck.
Washington Redskins bigwig Robert Griffin III picked up the 9,000-square-foot residence pictured below for $2.497 million in 2013, just months before he got married.
Tucked in Loudoun County in Virginia, the six-year-old home contains five bedrooms and six baths, a wine cellar, a wet bar, a mudroom, and a spa.
The three-acre estate rests within the gated 900-acre community of Creighton Farms, which features a Nicklaus Signature golf course.
Tom Brady might have fallen a bit short on the football field this season, but he’s still king in the real estate realm.
After selling their sprawling 22,000-square-foot Brentwood estate to Dr. Dre for $40 million, the New England Patriots’ leading man and his supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, decided to move back to the East Coast for good, investing in a $4.5 million 5.2-acre parcel in Brookline, Massachusetts (right next to the home of Patriots owner Bob Kraft).
The couple—who also own a $14 million
Manhattan condo—then unveiled plans for a more modest
14,317-square-foot mansion (i.e. one without a moat).
Apart
from five bedrooms (including a massive master suite with his-and-hers
closets), the newly finished home sports a sun room, a wine storage
room, and a chef’s kitchen with a pantry, plus a library with a balcony
looking down at the gym. A nursery and staff quarters rest over its
garage.
