The NFL's 2026 trade deadline arrived at 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday (2:00 p.m. MT), and the Denver Broncos made one move, acquiring linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for two draft picks.
As the deadline approached, the Broncos were believed to be in the market for three skill positions: running back, tight end and wide receiver (running back drew the most headlines). Denver had about $4.66 million in available salary cap space, according to OverTheCap.com, and ten draft picks available.
Broncos general manager George Paton checked in on running back Jonathan Taylor, tight end Trey McBride and available safety options, among others. In the end, Henley was the only player they acquired, and it was at a position that
hadn't been reported. The Broncos now have nine projected picks for the 2027 NFL draft.
Did the Broncos make any trades before deadline?
Yes, Denver agreed to trade a 2027 fourth-round draft pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to L.A. in exchange for linebacker Daiyan Henley. That was the only move the Broncos made before the deadline.
With the trade deadline now behind us, the Broncos officially enter their bye week. Following their Week 10 bye, Denver will host the Las Vegas Raiders at Empower Field at Mile High in Week 11.
