Nothing suggested that he would be stripped of the role of the team’s regular quarterback a year later and yet…
It doesn’t take away his achievements, but the blow must be difficult to take.
Danny Maciocia spoke to him last Tuesday.
“He understands the situation and the reasons why we made this decision,” said the Alouettes GM.
“The most important thing in all of this is knowing that we are going to do what is best for Cody Fajardo in the coming days and weeks because I have a lot of respect for him.
“I will always be grateful to him and that is why I will do everything to help him.”
We will understand that the Alouettes will not be able to afford two quarterbacks coming with big salaries. In this regard, it was also important for Maciocia to sign Alexander under contract as quickly as possible.
“It allows us to know what will be left on our payroll to hire other players that we would like to keep with us.”
