The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with free-agent wide receivers Charles Johnson and Torrance Small.

Johnson, who played the last five seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, signed a five-year deal worth $15 million, including a $3 million signing bonus, his agent, Joel Segal, said Monday.

Small, who played with Indianapolis last season, signed a four-year deal worth $9 million, his agent Rich DeLuca said.

The 6-foot, 195 pound Johnson led the Steelers in receiving last year, catching 65 balls for 815 yards and seven touchdowns.

Small, formerly of the Indianapolis Colts, signed a four-year contract, his agent Rich DeLuca said Monday. The contract is reportedly worth about $9 million with a $3 million signing bonus.

Small had 45 catches for 681 yards and seven touchdowns last season. The seven-year veteran has also played for St. Louis and New Orleans.
