The Los Angeles Chargers are trading linebacker Daiyan Henley to the Denver Broncos in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round selection, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Henley has 51 tackles and two tackles for loss in eight games with Los Angeles this season. The 26-year-old goes from the winless Chargers to the AFC West-leading Broncos.
Henley is playing out the final year of his rookie contract and and is scheduled to become a free agent after this season.
The Broncos bolster a linebacking room currently headlined by Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad.
The Chargers opted to move one of their defensive captains despite reports that the team wasn't interested in moving key players prior to the NFL trade deadline.
Henley has recorded 317 tackles (14 for loss) and five sacks over 56 games with the Chargers.
