When Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback Tony Romo retired from football last year, he made sure his savings from his 13 years in the NFL was put to good use. There are too many examples of retired pro-football players that have wasted their savings on bad investments and careless spending, and Romo just isn’t that kind of guy.
One of his greatest investments is his 32,515 square feet Dallas mansion, worth $9 million. The incredible property has everything you need, including plenty of bedrooms, a spa, a swimming pool, and an entertainment area. We can just imagine how thrilled his wife and sons are with the fine design of this first rate property and all of the activities it has to offer.

Ware invested $1.37 million in cold cash in this posh property that includes 3 bedrooms and 3 baths.
