Chargers retain Daiyan Henley after Broncos trade is canceled
Neither team explained why the deal fell through. Denver had agreed to send two draft picks to Los Angeles for the linebacker.
Daiyan Henley will stay with the Chargers after his proposed move to the Broncos was canceled, both teams announced. The clubs had reached an agreement shortly before the trade deadline, but the deal will not be completed.
Neither organization gave a reason for the cancellation. ESPN reported that Henley visited the Broncos’ facility and underwent a physical. The teams did not say whether the examination played a role in their decision.
Denver had offered a fourth-round selection in 2027 along with a fifth-round selection in 2028 for the linebacker. Henley’s rookie contract is in its final year, and he is due to enter unrestricted free agency in March.
Henley injured his shoulder against the Rams in Week 8. He then participated fully in practice the following week and played against the Texans in Week 9.
The Chargers welcomed Henley back on social media about 30 hours after publishing a farewell post announcing the agreement.
