Trade Cancellation
The Broncos announced late Wednesday that a proposed trade to acquire linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Chargers will not be finalized. The move came after the agreement was reached ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Los Angeles was scheduled to receive a 2027 fourth-round draft pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick in exchange for the player, who is in the final year of his rookie contract and set to reach free agency in 2027. The Broncos offered no explanation for the decision to withdraw.
Henley's Career Numbers
Henley recorded a team-high 51 tackles in eight games this season. He also led his prior team in tackles during each of the previous two seasons. Selected in the third round of the 2023 draft, he has accumulated 317 tackles, five sacks and four interceptions across 56 career games.
Denver's Team Context
The Broncos enter their bye week with a 7-2 record and a five-game winning streak. The club had pursued additional depth for a defense ranked 23rd in the NFL against the run. Denver is scheduled to host the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 22.
