Philyaw Remains Unsigned

Big Wednesday passed and the Brigade resigned a number of last year's players. They did not, however, resign their quarterback.

Number 1 didn't ink a new deal, meaning that he'll be a free agent. We'd guess there will be high demand for Ray Philyaw when negotiations start, too. Hopefully he's back with the Brigade, christening the new Sprint Center with touchdown passes next season.

Kansas City Infozine reports: "Noticeably absent from the re-signings were Raymond Philyaw and B J Cohen. Philyaw, last season's starting quarterback, has indicated a desire to remain with the Brigade, and team officials are anxious to renew negotiations with his agent sometime in September when the league grants permission for teams to talk with free agents. Philyaw passed for 4338 yards with 85 touchdowns and only 11 interceptions last season. Officials are also anxious to resume negotiations with B J Cohen who had 28 tackles and 6.5 sacks for the Brigade last season."
