What happened: The Denver Broncos agreed to acquire linebacker Daiyan Henley in a trade from the Los Angeles Chargers. Denver sends a 2027 fourth-round draft pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to complete the deal.
Why it matters: Denver sits at 7-2 through nine games on a five-game winning streak, holding the AFC's No. 2 seed. The acquisition bolsters the linebacker unit as the team positions itself for the postseason push.
By the numbers: Henley has recorded 51 tackles, 0.5 sacks, and 1 interception in 2026 through 8 games.
What to watch: Denver enters its Week 10 bye before returning to action to integrate Henley into the defensive rotation.
