The Chargers traded linebacker Daiyan Henley, their leading tackler this season, to the Denver Broncos in exchange for two draft picks in the hours before the NFL’s deadline Tuesday. The Chargers received a fourth-round pick in 2027 and a fifth-round selection in 2028.
Henley was a third-round pick in 2023, but hardly saw the field because of nagging injuries during the season. He thrived after Jim Harbaugh was hired to replace Brandon Stanley as the Chargers’ coach in January 2024. He had 142 tackles in 2024, 101 last season and 51 to start this campaign.
ESPN was the first to report the trade.
