Matt Leinart won’t let a little thing like being dropped from the Houston Texans bring him down ... TMZ has learned, he just shelled out $1.45 MILLION on a sweet new beach pad in California.
The former Heisman trophy winner -- whose fractured collarbone all but sealed his fate on the Texans -- will be chillin' out this summer in a 3-bdrm, 3-bath ocean view home in Manhattan Beach, CA.
The beachfront property comes fully equipped with 2 jacuzzi tubs, 2 fireplaces, 2 decks and a panoramic ocean view -- adding up to over 2,100 sq. ft. of perfect space to relax and recover in the non-Texas sun.
Now that Matt’s found an awesome new beach pad ... all he needs is a team -- and a working arm.
NFL stud Matt Leinart and Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis have something in common ... besides Paris Hilton anyway. Anybody got a towel?!

There are few things more appealing than a clammy footballer. Or less appealing.
The brutal child support war between NFL stud Matt Leinart and baby mama Brynn Cameron finally came to end late last week -- but closure didn't come cheap!
TMZ has learned that Leinart will shell out $15,000 per month in child support, around half of what
Cameron claimed she needed to care for the couple's nine-month-old son, Cole.
But Leinart's legal battles aren't over yet -- the QB will be back in court August 13 to fight for the right to spend more time with his kid.
NFL stud Matt Leinart has scored himself another high profile job -- but TMZ has learned the pretty boy QB is busting his ass to make sure his new Hollywood gig doesn't interfere with his daddy duties.
A spy on the L.A. set of a new Adam Sandler project has confirmed that Leinart landed an acting role in the untitled flick, featuring "Scary Movie" star Anna Faris. While sources claim Leinart is serious about the part, we're told that he's only shooting on days he's not scheduled to visit his 9-month-old son with baby mama Brynn Cameron, and when he's free from any football obligations with the Arizona Cardinals. But according to Brynn, Leinart's "Hollywood stuff" is taking his focus away from being a good parent, as she complained to the Ventura County Star, "It's kind of hard for me as the mom ... he comes and goes whenever he wants."
When contacted by TMZ, Leinart's rep wouldn't talk about the movie, but assured the Cardinal faithful that "Matt is focused right now on his way to training camp. He has a job to do with the Arizona Cardinals. That's all we have to say about that."
As TMZ first reported, Leinart is embroiled in a nasty legal battle with his Cameron, who is asking for more than $30K a month in child support from the $50 million-contract jock.
He's taken on some of the biggest, baddest men on the planet, but it's his baby mama who's hitting football stud Matt Leinart where it hurts the most -- his wallet!
TMZ has learned that the NFL pretty boy is locked in a raging legal fight with his ex-girlfriend, Brynn Cameron, over the couple's 9-month-old son Cole. According to sources close to the case, Brynn wants Matt to hand over more than $30,000 per month! That's a ton of jack for a 21-year-old living with her parents! According to sources close to the case, Leinart's pissed -- having already bought her a car, as well as voluntarily giving her around six grand a month. Leinart signed a six-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals in 2006 -- reportedly worth around $51 million.
