Jim Harbaugh accuses Broncos of exploiting ‘loophole’ in nixed Daiyan Henley trade

The Chargers’ only move at the NFL trade deadline was called off Wednesday — and coach Jim Harbaugh accused the Denver Broncos of acting in bad faith. A day after the Broncos announced that a proposed trade for Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley “will not be finalized,” Harbaugh said the Broncos tried to renegotiate terms after failing Henley’s physical, which is allowed under NFL rules when limited to draft-pick compensation. Ultimately, the two sides couldn’t reach an agreement. kAm“%96 qC@?4@D 32D65 2 A2DD^72:= @? 2 >65:42= 8C256[ 32D65 @?
