NFL knew about and approved of Broncos attempting to change Daiyan Henley trade

The NFL was aware of and gave approval to the Denver Broncos' attempt to renegotiate the terms of a trade involving linebacker Daiyan Henley after Henley failed or raised concerns during his physical examination. The story was reported by Jon Heath of Broncos Wire on November 12, 2026, and indicates the Broncos had agreed to send fourth- and fifth-round picks as part of the deal. The league's involvement suggests the situation required official oversight before any changes to the trade terms could be finalized.
