10 NFL Stars That Went Completely Broke

Warren Sapp was no stranger to controversy during his time both on and off the field, unnecessary roughness, unsportsmanlike conduct, ejections, threatening behaviour, domestic battery and the infamous skipping incidents, but he managed to land a job with the NFL network nonetheless.

Things caught up to Sapp in 2010, when his business ventures began to fail. It was discovered that on top of his lost investments, he owed almost $1m in alimony and child support to his ex wife, was $70,000 behind on property taxes, and owed money to several businesses and associates throughout the country.

He filed for bankruptcy in 2012, claiming that he had lost everything to debt, including his Super Bowl and College Championship rings.
