MOBILE, Ala. (Feb. 11) - Former star quarterback Kenny Stabler has agreed with the IRS to sell his Ono Island house on the Alabama coast to pay his tax debts exceeding $500,000, according to federal court records.

Attorneys for Stabler, his estranged wife, Rose Burch Stabler, and the Justice Department asked a judge in Mobile to put a lawsuit against the Stablers on hold for six months to give the property a chance to sell.

Senior U.S. District Judge Charles Butler Jr. did not immediately rule on the request filed this week.

The Justice Department in August sued the Stablers and the 61-year-old former quarterback's one-man business, the Stabler Co., seeking the seizure of the house on Ono Island, near the Alabama-Florida border, and property in Mobile to satisfy a tax debt.

Stabler lawyer Robert Galloway told the Press-Register of Mobile on Friday that his client concedes that he owes money but disputes the amount. Galloway said he is confident Stabler's half of the proceeds from a sale will be enough to resolve the case.

Stabler led Alabama to the 1965 national championship and now broadcasts Crimson Tide football. He played in the NFL for 15 seasons, earning the league's MVP award in 1974 and leading the Oakland Raiders to their first Super Bowl title in 1977.
