PRO FOOTBALL REPORT : WEEKDAY UPDATE : AROUND THE NFL : Expansion Not Automatic, Say Owners

Buffalo owner Ralph Wilson and Chicago’s Michael B. McCaskey said in Chicago that the league should take a long, hard look at adding new franchises.

“I’m probably not one of the pro-expansion owners, but if there are some good reasons, Buffalo will vote for them,” Wilson said.

Commissioner Paul Tagliabue has said he would like two more teams by 1993 and two more in 1995.

Mike Lynn, the president of a proposed world football league, said play will begin in March even though no cities, coaches or players have been announced. He added that he hoped that Canton, Ohio, where the NFL was founded, would seek to join the world league.

The Phoenix Cardinals traded injury-prone defensive end David Galloway, who has played only 24 regular-season games the last four seasons, to the Denver Broncos for an undisclosed draft pick. . . . Cardinal guard Lance Smith was arrested in connection with a domestic dispute but is expected to play Sunday against the New York Giants.
