Chargers fail to complete Daiyan Henley trade at NFL deadline

Summary

The Los Angeles Chargers were unable to finalize a trade for linebacker Daiyan Henley before the 2026 NFL Trade Deadline. Initially agreeing to send Henley to the Denver Broncos for future draft picks, the deal collapsed after Denver raised concerns about Henley's knee during a physical examination. The Chargers opted not to trade veteran pass rusher Khalil Mack, despite their winless record. With an 0-8 season, the decision not to move Mack may reflect a lack of strategy moving forward. Now, the team is left without the anticipated draft capital and appears uncertain about its future direction.
