Rich Campbell of the Washington Times also tweeted that the deal-in-agreement is for five years, although the amount of money it is worth has yet to be announced. The agreement cannot be made official until March 12, when the NFL's free agency period officially begins.
Lichtensteiger started all 17 of the Redskins games last season, though an ankle injury sidelined him toward the season's end. Lichtensteiger allowed 14 hurries on the season, but just one sack.
Updates will follow as more details on the contract emerge.
