Broke NFL legend Warren Sapp has warned the judge in his bankruptcy case that Jeremy Shockey might sue his ass for defamation … because Sapp accused him of being the “snitch”in the NFL bounty scandal. 

As we previously reported, Shockey has been considering taking legal action against Sapp … claiming Warren went on the NFL Network and FALSELY identified Jeremy as the man who blew the whistle on the New Orleans Saints just a few months ago.

Now, Sapp has filed new docs in bankruptcy court, listing Shockey as a potential creditor … joining a long list of creditors that includes baby mamas, the IRS and a speech therapist.

Since Sapp initially filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy — claiming he’s broke-ass broke — he’s required to inform the court about any person who could make a financial claim against him.

Obviously, Sapp feels there’s a chance Shockey will come after him in court.
