Ndamukong Suh is ready to plant his roots in Florida after transferring to the Miami Dolphins.

The former Detroit Lions defensive tackle has just bought a $6.5 million Fort Lauderdale estate, Miami Herald reported.The terror-inducing 2010 Pepsi Rookie of the Year awardee's new home is sitting on 0.47 acres of lot and includes seven full bathrooms and two half baths, the listing says.

Its listing on Realtor.com also describes the Lauderdale property as a "massive waterfront home" with "many thoughtful upgrades and design elements that appeal to the most discerning." The football player's new dwelling place, built just two years ago, displays other living spaces like patios, balconies, roof-top entertaining area, game room, home theater, wine room and a personal gym.

Interior details of the 11,142-square-foot-home highlight an open floor plan, high ceilings and bright ambiance courtesy of glass panels. Photos on the site reveal a tropical-themed landscaping outdoors displaying majestic palm trees that are appropriate for the waterfront property.

Leaving Detroit and marking his stay in Florida

When the Portland native left the Lions earlier this year after having five seasons with them, he admitted hat his ties with the former team and the area made the decision hard but he later considered what's best for his own family and him, Detroit Free Press reported.

Now that he is with the Lions, the Dolphins' offense are being affected by Suh's power.

"You can feel him out there," Lions Coach Joe Philbin told Miami Herald.

More than Suh's show of force on the field, Dolphins executive vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum wanted him to guide and be a role model to young defensive linemen like Jordan Phillips and Terrence Fede, too, noted Fox Sports.

"In a (salary) cap system when you're paying somebody the way we're paying him, he has to impact others for this deal to make sense. He had talked about earlier in his career how Kyle had impacted him. I challenged him. I said, 'Look, 10 years from now it could be Terrence or Jordan. When they're talking about the career they're having, I want them talking about the way you impacted them in the same way you talk about the way Vanden Bosch impacted you," Tannenbaum said.

The University of Nebraska alumnus inked a six-year deal worth $114 million, with $60 million guaranteed money in March, according to ESPN.
