The Denver Broncos are acquiring linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round draft pick and a 2028 fifth-round selection, according to reports from ESPN and Yahoo Sports on Tuesday.
Pro Football Talk also reported the agreement and confirmed the draft-pick compensation.
The move sends Henley from one AFC West rival to another during the NFL trade deadline, with Pro Football Talk framing the transaction as the last-place team in the division trading a player to its first-place team.
That divisional context makes the transaction particularly notable, bringing a player from Los Angeles to Denver while both organizations compete in the same division.
The reported compensation consists of two future selections: Denver’s 2027 fourth-round pick and its 2028 fifth-round pick. Those are the terms reported for the acquisition.
The available reporting supplied to this desk does not include Henley’s season statistics or contract details. Accordingly, no statistical totals, salary figures or remaining contract terms are included here.
The transaction gives Denver a linebacker from a direct division rival, while the Chargers receive two future draft selections in return.
Further details beyond the reported trade agreement and compensation were not available in the source pack reviewed for this report.
