McLeod Bethel-Thompson - The Canadian PressMcLeod Bethel-Thompson will continue his CFL career with the Montreal Alouettes.
"He's still very capable of winning games for you," Maas said of Bethel-Thompson."In the meantime, we’ve got a guy that can help mentor Davis and be there for support when that's needed, and then be able to step in when that’s needed as well. Bethel-Thompson threw for 3,748 yards with 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 16 games with Edmonton in 2024. He previously spent five seasons with Toronto , winning two Grey Cups before joining the New Orleans Breakers of the United States Football League in 2023."When I watched play last year, he ain't slowing down," Maas said."He's not considered a running guy but he can actually move his feet very well, much like Tom Brady late in his career.
Alexander has appeared in 37 regular-season games with Montreal, completing 119-of-172 passes for 1,492 yards with six touchdowns and three interceptions. Alexander has also run 30 times for 188 yards and four touchdowns.
