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.
The Lions will still have a hole to fill up front after guard Graham Glasgow agreed to terms on a four-year, $44 million deal with the Denver Broncos.
