Multiple sources are reporting that the Lions have agreed to terms with offensive tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai.
NFL Insider Adam Caplan was first to report the deal and included the basic terms of the deal — five years, $50 million.
Vaitai has a lot of positional versatility. He has experience playing both tackle spots, can also play guard, but is expected to be the Lions starting right tackle in 2020.
Vaitai has only started 20 of his 64 career NFL games but as a former 5th round pick out of TCU, that’s not unexpected.
He is only 26 and had found success on both the right and left sides in Philadelphia — but he has been more successful filling in for an injured Lane Johnson on the right side
