Chargers' Jim Harbaugh Implores NFL to Investigate 'Loophole' that Nixed Daiyan Henley Trade

The Broncos sought to change the draft return after Daiyan Henley failed a physical, but the Chargers refused and the trade was canceled.

  • On Wednesday, the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers canceled their trade for linebacker Daiyan Henley after he failed his physical examination.
  • Denver Broncos General Manager George Paton discovered concerns regarding Henley's knee during evaluation, prompting him to seek renegotiation rather than simply cancel the agreement.
  • Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh criticized the league's rules, calling the ability to renegotiate compensation after the deadline a "loophole" that "sets a bad precedent."
  • Regaining $1.83 million in 2026 salary cap space, the Broncos retain their 2027 fourth-round and 2028 fifth-round draft picks following the trade's cancellation.
  • Los Angeles Chargers General Manager Joe Hortiz disputed the narrative, claiming he was transparent about Henley's status before the agreement was finalized.
