Eagles rework deal with SB MVP Foles

The Eagles and Nick Foles reached an agreement on a restructured contract that awards Super Bowl LII’s Most Valuable Player with a $2 million signing bonus and creates an option year for 2019, NFL sources said. The NFL Network was first to report the revised deal.

Foles, 29, had only one year left on a twoyear, $11 million contract he signed as a backup in March 2017. His base salary for 2018 is $4 million and he received a $3 million roster bonus last month. It’s unclear how the restructuring will affect Foles’ $7.6 million salary cap number, however.

Along with the signing bonus, he can earn millions more in incentives if he’s the starter or clears other benchmarks. The option year is being phrased as a “mutual” one, per one source, to which both sides would have to agree. The additional year can be insurance in case something happens to starter Carson Wentz.

Wentz, who suffered a season-ending knee injury on Dec. 10, said earlier this week that his goal was still to return by Week 1, but he also said there wasn’t a concrete timetable.

Vikings LB suspended

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Kentrell Brothers has been suspended for the first four games of the regular season for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy.

Brothers will remain eligible for practices and games in the offseason and preseason before having to sit out. He can rejoin the active roster Sept. 28, the day after Minnesota’s fourth game. He can play on Oct. 7 vs. Philadelphia.

Ravens make offer

A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that the Baltimore Ravens have offered New Orleans Saints restricted free agent receiver Willie Snead a two-year, $10.4 million contract.

The Saints have five days to match the offer . . . .

Dallas Cowboys tight end James Hanna is retiring because of a knee injury that has hampered him the past two seasons.
