Did I want the #Broncos to trade for an elite RB like Jonathan Taylor? Absolutely. Did I want them to land an OL upgrade or a dominant TE like Sam LaPorta? Of course. But for the better part of the last half-decade, I've also wanted them to make a move at ILB. I've wanted Denver to finally boast a high-impact talent at that position, for the first time since Danny Trevathan. It's been much too long. Daiyan Henley can be that. He is that. He isn't just a rental. He isn't just "depth." His ceiling in this defense has a chance to be extraordinarily high, and based on what they gave up for him, I'd expect Henley to stick around beyond 2026. As (likely) a locked-in starter at only 27 years old. The Broncos will end the day as a better team than they started it — and the long-term ramifications of this trade are equally positive. Well done, @Broncos.

We’ve agreed to terms on a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers to acquire LB Daiyan Henley in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick and 2028 fifth-round pick. This transaction is pending Henley passing a physical. 📰 » buff.ly/QNcfmEj

NFL insider Albert Breer on #Broncos trade rumors: "Denver had been looking at running back, I think a little less so now. At one point, J.K. Dobbins was sort of dangled out there." "I wouldn't be surprised if they add a safety." (via The MMQB Podcast)
