A trade that would have sent linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Los Angeles Chargers to the Denver Broncos has been called off. The teams had originally reached an agreement on Tuesday, Nov. 10, involving Henley moving to Denver in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round selection. While the Broncos officially confirmed the trade would not be finalized, they did not publicly provide a specific reason. However, reports from industry sources indicate that the deal collapsed because Henley failed his physical examination with the Broncos.
