The Denver Broncos agreed to terms on a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers for linebacker Daiyan Henley on Tuesday, sending a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to Los Angeles, the Broncos announced. The deal is pending Henley passing a physical and came hours before the 2026 NFL trade deadline.

A 2023 third-round pick, Henley has started all 41 games in which he has appeared over the last three seasons. He has recorded four interceptions, 15 passes defensed, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, five sacks, 317 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and 12 quarterback hits in his career, according to the Broncos. Since the start of 2024, the Chargers' 2025 regular-season finale in Denver — in which Los Angeles did not play many of its starters — is the lone game in which Henley did not appear.

Henley led the Chargers with 51 tackles across the team's first eight games this season. He has posted at least 100 tackles in each of the last two seasons, including a career-high 147 tackles in 2024. A two-time team captain, Henley gives Denver a durable, productive linebacker who has rarely missed the field.

In corresponding moves, the Broncos waived defensive back Sean Fresch Jr. and released defensive back Ugo Amadi from the practice squad to make room on the roster.
