Well that didn’t last long.
Early Thursday morning, roughly 36 hours after the NFL’s trade deadline, multiple NFL insiders reported that the Chargers’ deal with the Broncos that sent linebacker Daiyan Henley to Denver in exchange for two draft picks has fallen through and will be withdrawn. The Bolts were set to receive a 2027 fourth-rounder and a 2028 fifth-round pick in return.
The reason for the nixed trade was not immediately given, but it’s presumed to be due to a failed physical after he Broncos
discovered an issue in one of Henley’s knees.
Following the breaking of the news, Henley took to social media and dropped a .gif of a person looking extremely confused, possibly pointing to his own confusion about why he would have failed his physical (if that was truly the case here). Henley was limited to begin Texans week but would go on to be a full participant both Thursday and Friday before being completely taken off the final injury report.
Either way, the Chargers keep their team captain and will now go without two extra early day three picks over the next two drafts.
And now for today’s links.
