Former Tampa Bay cornerback Bobby Futrell committed suicide at his Tampa home after quarreling with his wife, a Hillsborough County Sheriff’s spokesman said.

Futrell, 29, had an argument with his wife, Patricia, on Sunday.

“She apparently threatened to leave him,” Jack Espinosa said. “He went into the garage, barricaded himself inside and hung himself with an electric cord.”

Futrell played for the Buccaneers from 1986 until he was waived early in 1990.
