With the opportunity to start fresh with a new team in a new city, a former NFL top 10 pick is vanquishing the vestiges of his ill-fated stint in Cleveland.
Barkevious Mingo was drafted sixth overall by the Cleveland Browns in 2013, but washed out with the team after only three seasons. He’s now selling his home in Strongville, OH, for $470,000. The linebacker bought the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home shortly before the start of his rookie campaign for $444,000.
The 4,300-square-foot house is a perfect entry-level home for an NFL rookie. It’s not too big, because the baller palaces usually follow the all-important (and big-money) second NFL contract. But this is a nice place by all indications.
The brick front is newly painted, and there’s carpeting throughout the first floor. The foyer features ceramic tile and a staircase. On the second floor, the master suite has a vaulted ceiling, fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a luxe bath.

The dining room, which has a chair rail and crown molding, opens to a grand living room with a wet bar.
According to the listing agent, the basement is an entertainer’s paradise. It features living and playing areas plus a full bar and a full bath.
Cleveland got its just deserts, though, when Mingo snagged a Super Bowl ring with the New England Patriots. Before the 2016 season, he was traded to the Pats for a fifth-round pick in the 2017 draft, an ignominious return on investment for the beleaguered Browns.
After Mingo’s one-season run in New England, the Indianapolis Colts reportedly signed him to a one-year deal for $2.5 million. In four NFL seasons, Mingo is credited with 117 tackles, seven sacks, 12 pass deflections, and an interception.
