Lions address O-Line needs with 5-year, $50 million deal for Halapoulivaati Vaitai

It was a big day for the NFC North. The Vikings re-signed Kirk Cousins, franchised Anthony Harris, and are publicly at odds with star WR Stefon Diggs. The Bears saw Nick Kwiatkoski leave for Vegas and also happened to be involved in every QB rumor of the day. And the Lions, well they signed a tackle: 

That's a lot of money for Vaitai, who has only started 20 games in the four years since he was drafted by the Eagles. Vaitai saw snaps at every position on the line except for center in 2019, and Pro Football Focus gave him a 72.8 offensive grade – the best of his career.
