Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, after winning the Super Bowl MVP last season, had his contract reworked over the offseason.

It was an incentive-laden deal, that will pay him $250,000 if he plays 33 percent of the snaps on Thursday and another $250,000 if the Eagles win the game against the Falcons.

Foles was named as the starter over Carson Wentz on Monday.
