Big V is safely back in the den. The Detroit Lions reached a new contract agreement with offensive lineman Halapoulivaati Vaitai that will lower his cost and keep Vaitai in Detroit through 2023.
Vaitai was set to earn $9.4 million in base salary in both 2023 and 2024, an expensive legacy of the prior Lions management regime. With the new deal in place, Vaitai will count considerably less against the salary cap this season.
