His efforts guided the Roughriders to a West-Division best 15-3 record and lost only one game at home. Fajardo was named a West division All-Star, a CFL All-Star and named the West Division’s Most Outstanding Player.
After securing a first-round bye, Fajardo threw for 366 yards and an interception in the Roughriders' Western Final loss to the eventual Grey Cup champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Fajardo, 30, played in 17 games for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2022, completing 282 passes for 3,360 yards, 16 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
