As the Denver Broncos brace for another deep playoff run, their defence just got a boost.
The Broncos are acquiring linebacker Daiyan Henley from the Los Angeles Chargers in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick and 2028 fifth-round pick, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday.
Henley, 26, was drafted 85th overall by the Chargers in 2023 and is in the last year of his rookie deal — with him set to become an unrestricted free agent in March.
Until then, he's set to provide a significant boost to Sean Payton's defence, which is has allowed the 10th fewest points per game this season.
The fourth-year pro led Los Angeles with 51 total tackles through nine games this season, while also having recorded a forced fumble, two recoveries and an interception.
