    Why on Earth did Patrick Willis Retire????

    Was it an injury?

    Was he just rich and did not have a love for the game?

    Ask Justin Smith, Chris Borland & Anthony Davis. Must be a cancerous locker room, nobody wants to play.

    Toe Injury and the fact that he made his money and didn't want to bang his body up to the point of no return.

    I think we will start seeing more elite players retire early as they make astronomical salaries and do not want to live their 40's and 50's in pain.

    His woman wanted him to. I'd retire as well if she wanted me to. Have you saw her? Bet she still sleeps with the rest of them team, but can't blame him for doing what she ask.

    Former San Francisco 49ers star linebacker Patrick Willis spent his entire eight-season career in the San Francisco Bay Area. Now, the fearsome defensive star is taking another crack at sacking the real estate market.

    The All-Pro had listed his mansion in San Jose, CA, for $6 million in April 2015. It's now back on the market at the reduced price of $5.5 million.

    The 9,878-square-foot home on a 4.3-acre lot features four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The Mediterranean-style property overlooks the Almaden Valley, an affluent area along the southern edge of the sprawling city.

    Once you enter the home's double-height foyer with its double staircases, you’re greeted with linebacker-sized amenities. There’s a game room with a wet bar, a billiard room, an atrium, a home theater, a home gym, and a wine cellar.

    Outside, there’s a barbecue area, a covered cabana, and an infinity pool with a view of San Jose that’s way less tech and a lot more nature.

    Citing health concerns, Willis retired from the NFL in 2014, at the prime of his career. He played college ball at Ole Miss, and was drafted 11th overall by the 49ers in 2007. He's a seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time All Pro. He won the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2007. He was a key member of the 2012 49ers team that won the NFC Championship and narrowly lost Super Bowl XLVII to the Baltimore Ravens.
