Broncos acquire LB Daiyan Henley from Chargers, Digi Mart USA News: ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Broncos are sending LB Daiyan Henley to the Chargers for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.
The Chargers had maintained for most of the last few weeks that they were not looking to sell off veteran players despite a winless start. With that start now stretching to an 0-8 record, Henley becomes the first Chargers player moved with less than an hour to go before the trade deadline.
It is worth noting that Henley is on an expiring deal and is set to become an unrestricted free agent next year.
Henley, 26, was a third-round pick by the Chargers in the 2023 draft out of Washington State. He signed a four-year, $5,420,426 rookie deal through 2026 with a $942,128 signing bonus and is making a base salary of $3,674,000 in 2026.
In 2026, Henley has appeared in eight games for the Chargers and recorded 51 total tackles, two tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, one interception, two passes defended, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
