Roughriders trade veteran quarterback Darian Durant to Alouettes
MONTREAL — Darian Durant’s move from Saskatchewan to Montreal may have solved the Alouettes’ quarterback worries, while the Roughriders’ uncertainty under centre is just getting started.
Durant, who played 11 seasons in Regina and helped the Roughriders to two Grey Cups, was dealt to Montreal on Friday for a fourth round draft pick in 2017 and a conditional pick in 2018.
The catch is that Montreal still needs to sign the 34-year-old, who can become a free agent on Feb. 14.
If he doesn’t, the first major move by new general manager Kavis Reed could end in disaster.
