Darian Durant agrees to new deal with Roughriders
The deal Saskatchewan Roughriders fans have been waiting for is done.
The team announced on Wednesday that quarterback Darian Durant has agreed to a new one-year deal for the 2016 season.
“I knew when I signed this deal back in 2014 that coming into the last year it was a high cap number. When Chris Jones approached me, it was just a situation we had an opportunity to get better all-around as a team,” Durant told reporters on Wednesday. “I didn’t want to be the guy to hold anything back from that. If it makes sense to myself and it helps out the organization, then why not have the best team around me?”
Details of the contract were not released, but Kirk Penton of the Winnipeg Sun is reporting the deal is for somewhere in the neighbourhood of $450,000 for one year.
