The Denver Broncos announced late Wednesday that their trade to acquire linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Los Angeles Chargers will not be finalized.
The team gave no explanation for walking away from the deal, which had been arranged just before Tuesday’s trade deadline.
The original agreement would have sent a 2027 fourth‑round pick and a 2028 fifth‑round pick to the Chargers in exchange for Henley, a third‑round draft selection in 2023 who is entering free agency in 2027.
“We have great respect for Daiyan as a player and person, and we wish him all the best moving forward,” the Broncos said in a statement posted on their X account.
The Broncos (7‑2) are on a five‑game winning streak and were looking to add depth to a defense that ranks 23rd against the run.
Henley leads the team with 51 tackles in eight games this season and was the Chargers’ top tackler in each of the past two years. Over 56 career games, he recorded 317 tackles, five sacks and four interceptions.
Denver, which has a bye this week, will host the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 22.
