Broncos and Chargers reverse Daiyan Henley trade after deadline
The linebacker’s move to Denver was called off, and he will remain with the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Los Angeles Chargers and the Denver Broncos announced that the trade of linebacker Daiyan Henley has been cancelled, leaving the player with the Chargers. The reversal was confirmed after the NFL trade deadline, with the Broncos stating that the proposed transaction will not be finalized.
The Chargers posted a brief message on social media acknowledging Henley’s return to the roster. Reports indicate that Henley underwent a physical at the Broncos’ facility on Wednesday, and the medical evaluation appears to have prompted the decision to void the deal.
Henley, who suffered a shoulder injury in Week 8 but participated fully in subsequent practices and games, was slated to be exchanged for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. He is in the final year of his rookie contract and is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March.
