He smashed quarterbacks to the AstroTurf for the Green Bay Packers, but now outside linebacker Julius Peppers is eager to sack a buyer for his Coral Gables, FL, estate. The posh place is available for $6.45 million.

Peppers, currently without a contract, is no stranger to the real estate game. In 2015, he listed his Chicago-area home for $2.5 million. The 8,000-square-foot mansion is currently off the market. Then in 2016, Peppers put up his North Carolina mansion for $2,995,000. A sale there is currently pending.

The nine-time Pro Bowler is now looking to unload his Florida home. The plantation-style property, which was built in 2006, was purchased by Peppers for $5.2 million in 2014, shortly after he signed with Green Bay.

The two-story interior features marble and wood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s also a bar, fireplace, pantry, and foyer entry along with a breakfast area, high-end kitchen, formal dining room, and snack counter.

Peppers is regarded as one the NFL’s all-time great defensive players. He played college football at North Carolina before he burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2002 with the Carolina Panthers, and won the league’s Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. The 37-year-old also played with the Chicago Bears from 2010 through 2013, before joining the Packers.
