Ex-Steelers Star James Farrior Drops $3.8 MIL on Badass Retirement Mansion

[SteelCrazy]

Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Farrior just bought one SICK place to spend his retirement years ... a $3.8 million mansion in Houston, TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources tell us ... 39-year-old Farrior -- who made at least $35 million during his 14-year NFL career -- locked up a 10,332 square foot palace right next to a golf course.

The mansion comes with 6 bedrooms, 8 baths, an enormous wine cellar, game room, study ... and (of course) an awesome built-in movie theater.

There's also a sweet outdoor loggia -- which is an open air facade of the house that features its own fireplaces (one of four on the property).

It's good to be rich.

It's good to be rich but when you don't have that kind of bank coming in anymore you can quickly become another Joe Gilliam or Mike Webster.

Hopefully he was a SAVER/Investor and paid CASH for it. You're suppose to buy this stuff when ur paying income tax.

He did have a long career, playing into his mid 30s too. Sure he saved.

hopefully he can afford it.

He also qualifies for the NFL retirement system which is pretty nice too.

You've made it when you have an outdoor loggia - whatever that means.

6 BR, 10,000 sq. ft.? Nicer than my crib, but a mansion? A big house, but I'm not sure 10,000 sq. ft. qualifies as a mansion. Actually, it does.
