Report: Lions agree to huge deal with offensive lineman Halapoulivaati Vaitai

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions parted ways with veteran right tackle Rick Wagner on Friday, but appear to found a replacement on Monday, reportedly agreeing to terms on a five-year deal with Halapoulivaati Vaitai.

NFL reporter Adam Caplan was the first to report the agreement, which totals $50 million. The Lions and Vaitai's representation did not immediately return request for confirmation. Contracts cannot become official until 4 p.m. on Wednesday.

A fifth-round pick out of TCU in 2016, Vaitai has spent his entire career with the Philadelphia Eagles.
