  Jets | McLeod Bethel-Thompson will try out for Jets    Thu May 4, 04:46 PM

Free-agent QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson (Eagles) will participate in the New York Jets' rookie minicamp Friday, May 5, on a non-roster tryout basis.

Footballguys view: It wouldn't shock anyone if he not only made the team but won the job considering how bad the selection there is. But that's more about how bad everyone else is versus how good this new addition could be. Fantasy owners are not going to be lining up around the block like it's the premiere of "The Last Jedi" when it comes to drafting a Jets quarterback in 2017.

  Eagles | Carson Wentz to play a lot Thursday    Mon Aug 8, 05:41 PM

Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz will receive most of the snaps in the second half of the preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Thursday, Aug. 11. QBs Sam Bradford and Chase Daniel will play in the first half, while QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson could receive one or two series in the fourth quarter.

Footballguys view: There's a lot to like about Wentz. He's a strong leader and the type of player who can rally a team around him. Wentz does a good job of going through progressions and staying aggressive with his reads. The rookie will have some growing pains and is unlikely to see the field much in the regular season so long as Bradford stays healthy.

  Eagles | M.J. McFarland joins Eagles    Tue May 17, 10:22 AM

Undrafted free-agent TE M.J. McFarland (UTEP) signed a three-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles Tuesday, May 17. QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson was released.

Footballguys view: McFarland measures in at 6'5" 253 pounds. He began his career at Texas, and he played three seasons for the Longhorns compiling 19 receptions for 178 yards and three touchdowns. McFarland then transferred to UTEP, but he never played for the Miners after testing positive for a banned substance.

Free-agent QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson (49ers) agreed with the Philadelphia Eagles Thursday, Feb. 18, pending a physical.

  Cowboys | Dallas hosting QB tryouts    Tue Sep 22, 09:21 AM

Free-agent QB Christian Ponder (Raiders), QB Matt Flynn (Jets), QB Josh Johnson (Jets) and QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson (Dolphins) are working out for the Dallas Cowboys Tuesday, Sept. 22.

Footballguys view: We have confirmed that Uncle Rico was unable to make the workout due to his bus breaking down. The Cowboys need to find a suitable backup for Brandon Weeden while Tony Romo is out over the next several weeks.

  Dolphins | Six signed to Futures contracts    Tue Dec 30, 07:26 PM

The Miami Dolphins signed OT Mark Asper, QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson, DE Emmanuel Dieke, LB Jake Knott, DB Lowell Rose and TE Jake Stoneburner to Reserve/Futures contracts Tuesday, Dec. 30.

Footballguys view: We're keeping tabs on Stoneburner in super deep dynasty leagues. He's an athletic tight end who can create mismatches on the field. The former Ohio State wide receiver was added by the Green Bay Packers after going undrafted in 2013, but he was released with an injury settlement earlier in 2014.

  49ers | May go with two QBs    Wed Jun 18, 01:56 PM

The San Francisco 49ers may consider keeping only two quarterbacks on their final roster in order to use the extra roster spot at another position. QBs Blaine Gabbert, Josh X. Johnson, McLeod Bethel-Thompson and Kory Faulkner will compete for the No. 2 quarterback job, but Gabbert likely has an edge since his 2014 salary is fully guaranteed.

  49ers | Sign two to futures contracts    Wed Jan 22, 05:05 PM

The San Francisco 49ers signed QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson and RB Jewel Hampton to futures contracts Tuesday, Jan 22. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Hampton is a fine talent, and well worth monitoring in super deep dynasty leagues. He's talented, can pick up yards after contact, and has good speed at the second level. Hampton is just buried on the depth chart at this time.

  Vikings | Christian Ponder still the starter    Mon Oct 7, 01:19 PM

The Minnesota Vikings are still listing QB Christian Ponder (rib) as the starting quarterback on their depth chart, even after signing QB Josh Freeman. QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson is likely to be released.

Footballguys view: It's all semantics at this point. Freeman wasn't added to ride the pine. The Vikings should have him in the starting lineup in the near future.

  Vikings | McLeod Bethel-Thompson to battle for backup job    Sun Jan 27, 09:13 PM

Minnesota Vikings QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson was inactive for all 16 regular season games, and he dressed for the Wild Card game against the Green Bay Packers, but did not play. He has a strong arm, but his game remains raw. Still, he is expected to challenge for the backup role in 2013 with QB Joe Webb.

Footballguys view: Christian Ponder finished strong, but if he struggles this season the way he did for a good stretch of 2012, Bethel-Thompson could become a more important name to know in Minnesota.
