The Denver Broncos have acquired linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Los Angeles Chargers in a trade just before Tuesday's deadline, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The winless Chargers will 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.
Henley, 26, 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. He joins a talented Broncos linebacker corps that already features veterans Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad.
A third-round draft selection in 2023, Henley 317 tackles, five sacks and four interceptions in 56 career games with the Chargers.
