The Wall Street Journal recently evaluated NFL players' real estate dealings, ranking stars by the price and size of the homes they bought and sold in 2015.
Of the 66 listings covered, the largest and most expensive home sold belonged to former Falcons cornerback Asante Samuel.
Samuel arrived in Atlanta in 2012 via a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. He signed a 3-year, $14.7 million deal with the Falcons that included $2.25 million in guarantees.
While in Atlanta, Samuel completed construction of a 16,700-square-foot palace in South Florida that included a lavish $1 million pool -- complete with a 25-person grotto and is 13 feet in the deep end.
