players who stiTl are unsigned by NFL teams. They are Daryle Lamonica, onetime Oakland Raiders quarterback who played with the WFL Southern California Sun, and Charley Har-raway, former Washington Redskins' running back who played with WFL Birmingham Americans. The number of those playing out their options in 1976 figures to be larger, unless the club owners and NFL Players Association agree to a modification of the Rozelle Rule in collective bargaining. The 1975 season was over before a Federal Court in Minneapols ruled the Rozelle Rule illegal. There were sevreal free agents who played out their options previously to join the WFL who benefitted this year as the NFL suspended applications of the Rozelle Rule pending appeal or a compromise with the players' union.

Among those were Larry Csonka, Paul Warfield, Jim Kiick, Calvin Hill, Duane Thomas and Dave Williams. Snapped up from among those who played out their options in 1975 were John Riggins, from the New York Jets; John Gilliam and Ed Marinaro, from the Minnesota Vikings; Jean Fugett, Dallas Cowboys; Pat Sullivan, Atlanta Falcons; Ron Johnson, New York Giants; Ahmad Rashad, Buffalo Bills; Ken Ellis, Green Bay Packers, and Mike Weger, Detroit Lions. The players appear to have been influenced by the chance to earn more money, from a club like the generous Redskins, who signed Hill, Riggins, and Fugett; money, glamor, and endorsements as in the cases of the Giants' landing Csonka and Marinaro, and the chance to play near home in the instances of Gilliam's going to Atlanta, War-field to Cleveland, Rashad to Seattle and Thomas to Dallas. Fugett moved closer to his home in Baltimore. Riggins said he preferred being' with a winning team over money as he left the Jets; Johnson left the Giants for a similar reason, he said.

Four cold-weather clubs Minnesota, Buffalo, Green Bay and Detroit will contend that their climate did not help them in dealing with Gilliam and Marinaro, Rashad, Ellis and Weger, respectively. In the previous season wide receiver Ron Jessie of Detroit played out his option and chose Los Angeles. Now O.J. Simpson wants out of Buffalo to play in Los Angeles. There has been a spate of trading of well-known players in 1976 for one reason or another.

Jim Plun-kett wanted to leave New England for his home near San Francisco and got his wish. Quarterback Steve Spurrier, a native of Miami, was traded to Tampa by San Francisco. Quarterback John Hadl went from frigid Green Bay with Ellis to Houston in a deal that sent Houston quarterback Lynn Dickey to the Packers. Three who played out their option with the Jets Lou Piccone, Rich Lewis and Rich Sowells discovered that non-superstars are not in Rhnson, from Vicksburg, was listed among the top prospects in by various scouting ser-fices, and averaged 19 points and 16 rebounds per game.
