Roughriders Chris Jones looking for ‘middle ground’ in Durant contract talks
There are two sides to every contract negotiation, and on Monday the Roughriders presented theirs.
On Sunday, Darian Durant said his talks with the team were pretty much at a standstill after he and his agent presented what he called a reasonable offer to management.
The Roughriders head coach and general manager Chris Jones said Durant was entitled to his opinion, but hoped the talks weren’t at the screeching halt the quarterback alluded to.
“Let’s try not to make this a me versus Darian Durant thing because that’s not what it is,” Jones said. “He feels like they’re at a standstill, we’re hoping the water’s still flowing freely.”
