Ex-Carolina Panthers star puts Charlotte mansion on the market for $10.7 million

Former Carolina Panthers star linebacker Shaq Thompson is selling his south Charlotte mansion for $10.7 million, according to Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.

Thompson listed his 10,957-square-foot gated estate on Friday, about a month after signing a one-year free-agent contract with the Buffalo Bills.

Thompson played his entire 10-year career with the Panthers before the team released a goodbye statement on social media in February.

Known as Three Little Birds, the estate is located in the 5500 block of Carmel Park Drive.

The home includes a two-story great room with dual chandeliers resembling those in a grand European hotel lobby, according to its listing.
