Bethel-Thompson opted out of the CFL season Monday in hopes of landing an NFL contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bethel-Thompson is eyeing a return to the NFL after spending the last few seasons in the CFL. He threw for over 4,000 yards and 26 touchdowns with the Toronto Argonauts last season and could latch on with a team in need of quarterback depth.

Bethel-Thompson completed 2-of-4 passes for 22 yards to go along with two rushing attempts for a loss of three yards during Thursday's preseason win over the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Bethel-Thompson remains buried on the Eagles' depth chart behind Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel, and Carson Wentz (ribs). With Wentz still sidelined due to injury, Bethel-Thompson serves as the third option at quarterback, but is still a longshot to make the roster.

The Eagles and Bethel-Thompson agreed to a contract Sunday, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bethel-Thompson spent a portion of the offseason with the Eagles, who ring in as his fifth NFL organization. However, he was away from the team during the all-important OTAs and mandatory minicamp, meaning he's likely merely a camp body in a QB room composed of presumptive starter Sam Bradford, 2016 second overall pick Carson Wentz, and offseason signee Chase Daniel.

Bethel-Thompson is signing with the Eagles, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Mark Sanchez under contract through 2016, Bethel-Thompson will likely compete for the No. 3 quarterback role. The 27-year-old former UDFA has spent time with a slew of different organizations over the last five years, but he's never made an appearance in a regular-season game.

Bethel-Thompson was released by the Dolphins on Saturday, according to the Miami Herald.

EDGE Analysis

The Dolphins elected to only keep two quarterbacks on their roster as Bethel-Thompson and Josh Freeman were less than impressive during training camp.

The Patriots have added Bethel-Thompson to their practice squad, the Boston Globe reports. With Ryan Mallett having been dealt to the Texans, the Patriots will go with just two QBs to start the season (Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo), with Bethel-Thompson now on board to provide the team with some depth at the position.

Bethel-Thompson is third on the depth chart, according to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee. Bethel-Thompson is eligible to be placed on the practice squad, so he will be the default third quarterback for the 49ers. Blaine Gabbert and Josh Johnson are battling it out for the back up quarterback position, and the loser of the battle will likely be cut from the team.

49ers waived QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson. The move clears a roster spot for Michael Crabtree. A former Viking, Bethel-Thompson could have trouble finding a roster spot this time of season.

49ers claimed QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson off waivers from the Vikings. QB John Skelton was waived in a corresponding move. Bethel-Thompson, a third-year undrafted free agent, has never appeared in a regular season game. This past preseason, he completed 33-of-52 passes for 320 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. McBLT will serve as the 49ers' No. 3.
