Just after signing with the Chicago Bears as a linebacker, Lance Briggs felt it was time to buy himself a home. He must’ve wanted to stay out of the snow because he ended up purchasing this home in Arizona for roughly $3.4 million in 2007. It’s a gorgeous 6,800 square foot home with a guest home which also has about 1,000 sq ft. Other amenities include an outdoor kitchen and a pool that looks straight out of a tropical island with all the palm trees surrounding it. Briggs lived there for a few years but then decided to sell it. Unfortunately due to the poor housing market, he ended up listing it for $2.7 million, more than $700,000 less than he originally paid for it.
