MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes believe they’re in a great spot at quarterback, but there’s one problem: they can’t pay both Cody Fajardo and Davis Alexander what they’re worth.
“You can’t pay starting quarterback money to two quarterbacks,” Alouettes general manager Danny Maciocia said Tuesday at Olympic Stadium. “That's impossible, because it's going to take a significant hit elsewhere.”
“If you told me with a gun in my head that I had to pick … I don't know which one I would,” head coach Jason Maas said. “I've been with Cody for five years and I know what Cody is capable of. The GM also confirmed he hadn’t asked Fajardo to restructure his contract, though it’s clear that would be necessary for both players to return.
Coming off his heroic performance in the Grey Cup, Fajardo carried that momentum into this season, leading Montreal to a 5-0 start before injuring his hamstring in Week 6 against Toronto. The GM also stated the Alouettes would be having the same quarterback dilemma even if Montreal repeated as the Grey Cup champion.
