No trade: Broncos say Daiyan Henley deal won't be finalized - Broncos Wire

And just like that, the trade is off.

The Denver Broncos agreed to trade two draft picks to the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for linebacker Daiyan Henley on Tuesday, but when they announced the deal, they said it was pending a physical.

The Broncos announced on Wednesday evening that "[t]he proposed trade involving Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley will not be finalized."

The statement continued, "We have great respect for Daiyan as a player and person, and we wish him all the best moving forward."

The team's statement did not make clear why the trade has fallen through, but it seems fair to wonder if something popped up in the physical. Denver now still holds its fourth-round draft pick in 2027 and fifth-round draft pick in 2028. The Broncos will move forward with Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad as their two starting inside linebackers with Karene Reid and Jordan Turner providing depth behind them.
