Trade Called Off Late Wednesday
The Denver Broncos announced late Wednesday that their proposed trade to acquire linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Los Angeles Chargers will not be finalized. The decision comes right after Tuesday's trade deadline, leaving the agreement cancelled.
Denver did not provide any specific reasons for pulling out of the transaction. Before the move collapsed, the Chargers were set to receive a 2027 fourth round draft pick and a 2028 fifth round draft pick from Denver in exchange for the defender.
Broncos Statement And Defensive Needs
Following the announcement, the Broncos released an official statement on their X account regarding Henley. The team stated, "We have great respect for Daiyan as a player and person, and we wish him all the best moving forward."
Denver currently holds a 7-2 record and is on a five game winning streak. However, the team has been seeking additional defensive depth. The Denver defense currently ranks 23rd in the league against the run, which prompted their initial interest in acquiring Henley before the trade deadline passed.
Henley Performance And Career Stats
Henley has been a major contributor for the Chargers despite their difficult start to the season, where they hold an 0-8 record. He leads Los Angeles with 51 tackles through eight games this year. He was also the leading tackler for the Chargers in each of the previous two seasons.
Selected in the third round of the 2023 draft, Henley has played 56 career games with Los Angeles. During his time with the team, he has recorded 317 tackles, five sacks, and four interceptions. He is currently in the final year of his rookie contract and is scheduled to become a free agent in 2027.
What Comes Next For Denver
With the trade deadline now passed and the Henley deal called off, Denver will turn its focus back to the regular season schedule. The team has a bye this week, giving players time to rest after their recent run of wins.
The Broncos will return to action on Nov. 22. On that date, they are scheduled to host the Las Vegas Raiders.
