Broncos backed out of trade for Chargers’ Henley over surprising issue in physical, AP source says

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos backed out of their proposed trade with the Los Angeles Chargers for inside linebacker Daiyan Henley, a decision that has stirred discussion over whether the NFL should consider changing its rule on teams acquiring injured players. A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that the Broncos were surprised by something that showed up in Henley’s physical that the Chargers hadn’t mentioned, and — after consulting with medical personnel inside and outside their team headquarters — informed the league and the Chargers that they wanted to discuss changing compensation terms, which is standard in such cases. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Broncos haven’t discussed the cancellation of the trade, said the teams exchanged proposals to amend terms of the deal but couldn’t come to an agreement.
