Professional career

Oakland Raiders

After going undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft, Fajardo signed with the Oakland Raiders on May 8, 2015.[10] On September 1, 2015, he was waived by the Raiders.[11]

Toronto Argonauts

On October 8, 2015, Fajardo was signed to the practice roster of the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.[12][13] He re-signed with the Argonauts on May 17, 2016.[14] Fajardo scored his first professional rushing touchdown on July 13, 2016, before throwing his first professional touchdown pass on July 25, 2016. Fajardo would see his role expand during 2017 into a change-of-pace backup while starter Ricky Ray was injured but remained the short-yardage quarterback when Ray returned. He scored the game-winning touchdown with 23 seconds remaining in the 2017 East Final in short-yardage on a 1-yard plunge against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, sending the Argonauts to the 105th Grey Cup game.[15] The Argos would go on to win the championship game over the Calgary Stampeders. Although Fajardo showed considerable promise and poise when he played, the Argonauts were unable to sign him to a contract extension with the acquisition of James Franklin from the Edmonton Eskimos.

BC Lions

After entering free agency, Fajardo signed with the BC Lions on February 16, 2018.[16] Fajardo continued his role as a short down rusher and change of pace quarterback behind Travis Lulay and Jonathon Jennings, registering 14 completions on 20 attempts for 153 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, as well as 42 rushes for 108 yards and 5 more scores.

Saskatchewan Roughriders

On the third day of free agency in 2019, Fajardo signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders on a one-year contract,[17] joining a quarterback room featuring Zach Collaros and David Watford. Fajardo became the starting quarterback following an injury to Collaros in the opening game of the season.[18] He led the team to a win on July 1, 2019, throwing for 430 yards against the Toronto Argonauts.[19] Fajardo continued to play well in the following weeks which prompted the Roughriders to trade Collaros to the Argonauts, solidifying their trust in Fajardo.[20] On October 21, 2019. Fajardo agreed to a two-year contract extension with Saskatchewan. He signed a contract extension through the 2022 season with the team on January 5, 2021.[21] Fajardo remained the starting quarterback for the Riders in 2021, leading the team to 9–5 record and secured a home playoff match against rival Calgary Stampeders, whom they defeated 33–30 in overtime despite Fajardo throwing four interceptions.[22] The Riders were defeated in the Western Final by the eventual champions the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[23] On January 31, 2022, Fajardo and the Roughriders agreed to a restructured contract for the 2022 season.[24] After starting the season with four wins in their first five games the season proved to be challenging for Fajardo and the Riders as the team would go on to lose nine of their next 11 matches, culminating in Fajardo being benched for the Riders penultimate match.[25] On February 13, 2023, one day before becoming a free agent, Fajardo posted on Twitter announcing that he would not be returning to Saskatchewan.[26]

Montreal Alouettes

On the first day of free agency Fajardo signed a two-year contract with the Montreal Alouettes.[27] Fajardo had a 9–7 record as a starter and helped the Alouettes to a playoff spot as runners-up in the East Division. The Alouettes reached the 110th Grey Cup, in which Fajardo was named the game's Most Valuable Player. He threw three touchdowns in the championship game, including the winning score to Tyson Philpot with 13 seconds remaining.
