Time is running out for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to take Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison up on his infamous invite. If Harrison has his way, his Pittsburgh home won’t be his for too much longer.
The Steelers’ legendary defender, who once returned an interception 100 yards in the Super Bowl, has listed his red brick mansion for just a tad less than $2 million. It’s the same home he invited Goodell to visit to settle a beef over the linebacker’s alleged use of performance enhancers.
Harrison bought the mansion in 2012 for $1.8 million. Located on a cul-de-sac in the Shadyside district, the home has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Built in 1994, the Georgian Colonial–style home has undergone a complete renovation, according to the listing agent.

In 2016, in response to an Al-Jazeera report alleging Harrison and other players used performance-enhancing drugs, the NFL asked to interview the linebacker. Harrison infamously responded by saying, “I have never had a bully before in my life and I’m damn sure not going to have one at this point. But since I’m a nice guy and don’t mind helping to clear the air in the name of the NFL Shield, I’ll do this interview. With these stipulations: The interview will be done at my house. Before training camp. On a date of my choosing. And Mr. Goodell must be present.”
The meeting has yet to happen, and last season, at the age of 38, Harrison recorded 53 tackles and five sacks.
Harrison is a two-time Super Bowl champion and one of the greatest linebackers in Pittsburgh’s history—he holds the team record for most sacks (79.5). He was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2008 and has been named to five Pro Bowls during his career. In March, the Akron, OH, native re-signed a two-year contract with the Steelers.
