The Saskatchewan Roughriders have
announced international quarterback Darian Durant has agreed to a new
contract for the 2016 season. As per team policy, financial details of the
contract were not released.
Durant is set to enter his 11th
season with the Green and White after originally signing with the team as a
free agent in 2006. The 33-year-old University of North Carolina product will
enter 2016 among the franchise leaders in all statistical passing categories.
His 24,668 passing yards and 135 touchdowns each rank third among the Riders
all-time leaders - also putting him inside the top 25 all-time CFL leaders in
both categories.
Through 98 career starts, Durant has
collected 54 wins, 42 losses and one tie while being named a West Division
All-Star in 2009 and 2013.
He is a two-time Grey Cup champion
having won with the Riders as the starting quarterback in 2013 and as a backup
in 2007.
Time for the trolls to go back under the bridge where they belong!
ReplyDeleteYAYYYY!!
ReplyDeletePenton says it is a 50 thousand dollar cut. Way to go out on a limb and take one for the team. Maybe giving back 100-125 thousand could have gotten Dressler back. He is DD's favourite target isn't he?
ReplyDeleteGood for Darian. Putting team in front of the individual. Perhaps #97 and #7 should have considered that.
ReplyDeleteMiles
pure leader
ReplyDeleteI can't be the only one thinking after what I heard today Darian is here for one more year and that's it. Why would he want to stay especially when they wouldn't sign his number one receiver. Enjoy DD this year Rider Nation because he is gone!
ReplyDeleteWhat other team is going to sign a aging injury prone player at 450.00 k who hasn't played nearly two seasons? No takers so he'll milk one more year out of the riders.
