The Denver Broncos have backed out of a proposed trade with the Los Angeles Chargers for inside linebacker Daiyan Henley, ABC News reported in a wire story.
Fox News, through its OutKick sports section, reported in a headline that the Broncos announced the Henley trade "will not be finalized" after the NFL trade deadline. Fox News said in its report that the trade fell through after a physical.
Fox News also reported that the Chargers responded by posting a graphic that it described as humorous, a welcome back message for Henley. The summary of that report does not describe the graphic in further detail.
ABC News described the deal as a proposed trade that the Broncos backed out of, without describing how the deal was structured. Both reports identify the player as Henley, and ABC News identified his position as inside linebacker.
The two reports agree that the trade was not completed. They differ in emphasis: Fox News focused on the Broncos announcing that the deal would not be finalized, while ABC News focused on the Broncos withdrawing from the proposal. Neither report, as summarized, gives a reason for the change, and neither says what the physical found.
Henley had been the subject of a proposed deal between the two Ohio-free AFC West rivals, according to the headlines of both reports, which describe the trade as one between the Broncos and the Chargers. The reports do not say which team initiated the proposal or what terms had been discussed.
Further details were not available in the summaries of either report.
