The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and the Chargers made one move.
The Chargers have decided to move on from linebacker Daiyan Henley. Los Angeles traded him to the Broncos for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.
The Bolts were viewed as a team that could make a handful of moves. Instead, they only made one and stood pat despite being 0-8 heading into Week 10.
Here is what social media had to say about the Chargers' lone trade.

Broncos adding Daiyan Henley is for depth behind Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad, I’m told.

And he’s excellent depth.
Henley has been a full-time starter for the Chargers the last three seasons. He was a 3rd round pick in 2023.

Trading Henley without being able to get an extension done makes sense, trading only Henley makes no sense.

The Chargers should have been able to find deals for other expiring contracts and it feels like they didn’t because they waited until 0-8 to realize the season was over.
Fans acting like the Chargers just traded away Junior Seau 💀

“Chargers didn’t want to trade Khalil Mack” but had him on the lowest snap percentage the last two weeks then all his years with the chargers.

You guys wanted the chargers to trade players and they get a fantastic return on this trade and you’re all screaming mad. It’s really hilarious to me. https://t.co/qQmQjPpXLT

Finally decide to sell a player but it's a 26 year old in-division and still won't part with Mack, truly no words for the Chargers man https://t.co/jedekpQreQ

Thought Daiyan Henley was going to be the next great LB in the league after that 2024 season and for a variety of reasons it has not worked out that way. Feel like it was pretty obvious the Chargers were not going to extend him this year plus you have Marlowe Wax waiting in the…
