Los Angeles sends a two-time team captain to Denver in a deal pending a physical, collecting draft selections for a linebacker who produced 305 tackles and five sacks in his Chargers career.
The Los Angeles Chargers traded linebacker Daiyan Henley to the Denver Broncos, the team announced Tuesday. The exchange is pending a physical and returns a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round selection to Los Angeles.
Henley entered the NFL with the Chargers as a third-round pick in 2023 (85th overall). Over 56 career games in Los Angeles, he started 41, totaling 305 tackles (162 solo), five sacks and 14 tackles for loss. He also recorded four interceptions, 15 pass breakups, a forced fumble and two recoveries, along with 12 special teams tackles.
His production included a standout 2024 season, when Henley set career highs with 142 tackles, eight pass breakups and seven tackles for loss. The Chargers said that year included nine games with 10-plus tackles, plus a franchise-record run of six consecutive games with double-digit stops.
In postseason action, the team noted that Henley made two starts and finished with 27 tackles (15 solo), including an interception and a pass breakup.
