Chris Cooley, the former tight end for the NFL team "Washington Redskins," has reportedly put his mansion in Leesburg, Virginia, for sale at an asking price of $2.39 million.
Public records show that Cooley purchased the home in October 2007 for $2.85 million. A year later, he married Redskin cheerleader Christy Oglevee, who he went on divorce in 2012.
"Captain Chaos" has been trying to sell the residence for quite a while now. The residence has gone on and off the market multiple times last listed for an undisclosed amount in January, this year. It was de-listed in February only to resurface now.
Listing records of the home state that the mansion spans an area of 13,054 square feet, sitting on a 3.67-acre lot. The home is comprised of six bedrooms, seven full and one hall bathroom spread across the three stories of the manor-style residence.
Interiors of the home feature hardwood and marble flooring with high ceilings and French windows and doors.
Some of its exclusive features include a family room, a media room, a wine cellar, a library and a chef's kitchen. There is a pottery studio in the house (of course!) as Cooley has now taken up the activity as a side business. He also owns a Pottery gallery in the area, which recently won the Downtown Leesburg Business Ambassador Award.
Outside, the residence has a four-car garage, a pool with a detached in-ground spa, a patio with an open deck and ample recreation areas.
The listing describes the home as "An Extraordinary Stone Estate Home." An open house is scheduled on June 1, 2014.

The Washington redskins released Cooley in 2012 after which he ran as a free agent for some time. His departure from the team was an emotional affair.
"It's been awesome. I've been very, very fortunate to play for a franchise that has embraced me and a fan base that has embraced me the way that they have. This organization has changed my life in every way for the better and I appreciate it. I've loved every minute of playing here," Cooley said during a news conference at Redskins Park in 2012. He was fighting back tears, according to the Washington Post.
Cooley now works as an analyst with WTEM-AM (ESPN Radio 980).
