The Denver Broncos agreed Tuesday, Nov. 10, to acquire linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, the Broncos announced. The trade is pending a physical.
The Chargers said Henley, a 2023 third-round pick and two-time team captain, started 41 of 56 career games for the club. They credited him with 305 tackles, five sacks, 14 tackles for loss, four interceptions and 15 pass breakups, plus 12 special-teams tackles. The Broncos said he has started every game he has appeared in over the past three seasons and led the Chargers with 51 tackles through eight games this year.
Denver also said it waived defensive back Sean Fresch Jr. and released defensive back Ugo Amadi from the practice squad in corresponding moves.
