  "account": "Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh accused the Denver Broncos of using a loophole to fail Daiyan Henley's physical, enabling them to back out of a trade that was supposed to occur before the deadline. Henley was expected to join Denver in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, but the trade fell through after the deadline. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that the Broncos cited a failed physical as the reason for the deal's failure, but Harbaugh stated that the Broncos based the pass/fail on a medical grade that depended on whether the Chargers would accept less compensation. Harbaugh expressed his belief that the league should address this loophole, as it sets a bad precedent.",
  "summary": "Harbaugh said Denver would have given the linebacker a passing medical grade if Los Angeles downgraded the second pick in the agreed-upon deal.",
