Trade: Broncos Acquiring LB Daiyan Henley From Chargers

The Chargers maintained their stance for most of the last few weeks that they weren’t looking to sell off veteran players despite a winless start. With that start stretching to an 0-8 record now, Henley becomes the first Chargers’ player moved with less than an hour to go before the deadline.

It’s worth noting Henley is on an expiring deal and is set to be 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.
