Jim Harbaugh Has Some Nerve Calling Out the Broncos
Nov 13, 2026 6:43 PM

The Chargers coach faces accusations of hypocrisy after criticizing Denver’s trade tactics, a bold move for a leader whose own career remains shadowed by sign-stealing scandals.

Jim Harbaugh is upset with the Denver Broncos.

He accused the Broncos of using a loophole to get out of the deal and thinks the NFL should look into it.

Except this is rather ironic, isn’t it? This is the same coach the Big Ten suspended for the final three games of the regular season after an investigation found that former staffer Connor Stalions stole signs from future Michigan opponents. Now Harbaugh is taking issue with the Broncos for the equivalent of turning in a rental car that was found to have issues.

The Chargers and the Broncos initially agreed to a deal that would have sent Daiyan Henley to the Broncos for a 2027 fourth-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. The deal was done pending a physical, which Henley failed. Harbaugh took issue with the fact that the Broncos tried to renegotiate for a better deal, which the Chargers refused.

Harbaugh called it a bad precedent. Yeah, it’s bad precedent if you’re the one trying to basically swindle the other team for picks. Hearing Harbaugh talk about loopholes when his career has been under the microscope for the past several years is rather rich.

Sometimes the timing of these comments says enough on its own.
