Broncos' Trade for Chargers Linebacker Henley Falls Through, Team Announces Late-Night the Deal Will Not Be Completed
The Denver Broncos announced late on November 11 that a trade for Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley will not be completed. In a statement on X, the team said: "The proposed trade involving Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley will not be finalized. We have great respect for Daiyan, both as a player and a person, and wish him nothing but the best moving forward." The statement was posted at about 10:15 p.m. and did not give a reason the deal collapsed.
Denver had reportedly agreed with the Chargers shortly before the November 10 trade deadline to send a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick for Henley, with the trade contingent on a physical. Henley had been on the injury report last week with a shoulder issue but returned to full practice before Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. After the deal fell through, Henley posted his own reaction on social media, expressing confusion at the outcome.
Denver is 7-2 and on its Week 10 bye; it will rely on its current linebacker group — including Alex Singleton, Justin Strnad, Karene Reid and Jordan Turner — for the second half of the season. Henley stays in Los Angeles for the final year of his rookie contract. With the trade deadline passed, Denver can no longer add a linebacker via trade this season.
