Chargers Daily Links: What does Eric Kendricks’ release mean for Daiyan Henley

Good morning, Chargers fans!

The news on Eric Kendricks dropped yesterday, which wasn’t a surprising move considering the cap situation Joe Hortiz finds himself in. The elephant in the room however is there really isn’t a clear answer on who will fill his shoes - and replace Kenneth Murray - for the 2024 season.

Daiyan Henley is an obvious candidate for an increased workload. The 85th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft has a prototypical modern linebacker athletic profile; he’s not a stocky run-stuffing thumber like the Bolts had in Denzel Perryman, but he’s a rangy disruptor in coverage.
