Linebacker Daiyan Henley is still on the Los Angeles Chargers roster, with a deal to send him to the Denver Broncos falling apart this week.

The Chargers agreed to trade Henley to Denver on Tuesday. The Broncos would have sent a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. They announced the deal as pending a physical. Late Wednesday, they said it would not be finalized.

ESPN notes that neither team gave an official reason. Sources told the network that Broncos officials found an issue with one of Henley’s knees. Other insiders also weighed in on why Denver called off the deal.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh disputed that explanation on Thursday, accusing the team of backing out of the deal because they wanted the Chargers to take less in exchange.

Harbaugh Calls For An NFL Review Of A Trade Loophole

Harbaugh said Denver would pass Henley’s physical only for a lower pick. He found that confusing, since Henley has played for the Chargers despite his injuries.

The head coach called the move “one of those loopholes that the league should really look into because it sets a bad precedent.”

Reporters asked whether teams should be able to renegotiate after the deadline. “It shouldn’t be, but apparently it is,” he said.

Henley has started all eight games for the Chargers this season. He leads the team with 51 tackles. He also spoke after the Broncos nixed the trade.

The winless Chargers now turn their attention to the Baltimore Ravens. They lost 44-22 to the Houston Texans on Sunday and will visit Baltimore next Monday
