The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed quarterback Cody Fajardo to a two-year contract extension.
The 27-year-old product of Brea, Calif., joined the Roughriders as a free agent in the off-season and was expected to be the backup to Zach Collaros in the 2019 CFL season.
But Collaros suffered a concussion on the third offensive play of the Roughriders’ season, giving Fajardo the opportunity to become a full-time starter for the first time in his four-year CFL career.
Fajardo has stepped up, completing 313 of 438 pass attempts for 3,873 yards with 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also has rushed 106 times for 610 yards and 10 touchdowns.
