The Arizona Outlaws of the USFL Monday acquired defensive end Ken Gillen from the San Antonio Gunslingers for two 1986 draft choices.

Gillen, who openly criticized San Antonio owner Clinton Manges following Saturday's game against Memphis, is the brother of Arizona linebacker John Gillen.

A third-year pro from Illinois, Gillen played for the Chicago Blitz before joining San Antonio.

In addition, the Outlaws have offered three-day tryouts to defensive tackle Rush Brown and wide receiver William Davis.

Brown played four seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals after being drafted on the 10th round in 1980. He played 11 games with the Jacksonville Bulls last season but was released in October.

Davis played one game with the Outlaws earlier this year, catching one pass, and was waived after five weeks of the season.
