The Philadelphia Eagles have apparently found their replacement for the recently traded Torrey Smith. According to Peter Schrager of NFL Media, the defending champions have signed veteran wide receiver Mike Wallace to a one-year contract.

Wallace, 31, heads to Philadelphia after spending the past two years in Baltimore. Last season saw the former Pro Bowler record 52 receptions for 748 yards and four touchdowns with the Ravens.
He boasts three career 1,000-yard seasons and will be a solid replacement for Smith behind the likes of Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor on the Eagles’ depth chart. In fact, one could easily call it an upgrade over a player in Smith who struggled to do anything of substance in his only season with the Eagles.
