Chicago Bears defensive lineman Grady Jarrett and his wife, Aja, in late May paid $4.25 million for an eight-bedroom, 18,241-square-foot mansion in Vernon Hills.

An Atlanta native, Jarrett, 32, had a 10-year career with his hometown Atlanta Falcons before the Falcons released him in March. Two days later, he signed a three-year, $43.5 million deal with the Bears.

Features include a first-floor office with a private terrace, a second-floor primary bedroom suite with a private terrace and a marble en suite bath with a see-through fire
