The proposed deal for the Chargers linebacker was not finalized after a pending physical, leaving Denver with its pre-deadline roster plans.

  • On Wednesday, the Denver Broncos announced the proposed trade to acquire Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley will not be finalized. The transaction, pending a physical examination, was canceled one day after being confirmed.
  • Shortly before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, the two teams had agreed on a deal involving a 2027 fourth-round draft pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. Henley was the only player the Chargers chose to part with at the deadline.

  • Following the trade's collapse, the Chargers posted "Welcome back, Daiyan" on social media late Wednesday. Sportswriter Zac Stevens noted the linebacker is "0-8 again going back to a team that just tried to trade him."
  • Denver, currently 7-2 and leading the AFC West, will continue relying on starters Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad at linebacker. The Broncos stated, "We have great respect for Daiyan as a player and person, and we wish him all the best moving forward.
