The Eagles have agreed on a five-year contract with offensive lineman Brandon Brooks, according to a person familiar with negotiations.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal wasn't announced yet. Brooks fills a big hole for the Eagles on their offensive line.

Brooks started 44 games over the last three seasons for Houston. The 6-foot-5, 342-pound Brooks was a third-round pick in 2012.

The Eagles previously agreed to free-agent deals with quarterback Chase Daniel and safety Rodney McLeod on Wednesday. They also finalized a trade with Miami that sends cornerback Byron Maxwell, linebacker Kiko Alonso and the 13th overall pick in the draft for the eighth overall pick.
