The Denver Broncos announced late Wednesday that their trade to acquire linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Los Angeles Chargers "will not be finalized."
The Broncos did not provide a reason for withdrawing from the deal, which occurred just before Tuesday's trade deadline.
The Chargers were set to receive a 2027 fourth-round draft pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick from the Broncos for Henley, who is in the final year of his rookie deal and is scheduled to become a free agent in 2027.
"We have great respect for Daiyan as a player and person, and we wish him all the best moving forward," the Broncos said in a statement posted on their X account.
The Broncos (7-2), who are on a five-game winning streak, had been seeking depth for a defense that is currently 23rd in the NFL against the run.
Henley has a team-high 51 tackles in eight games this year and also was the Chargers' leading tackler in each of the previous two seasons. A third-round draft selection in 2023, Henley had 317 tackles, five sacks and four interceptions in 56 career games with the Chargers.
Denver has a bye this week and will host the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 22.
