Riders speak highly of Durant before his return
While Darian Durant may no longer be a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, there doesn’t appear to be any less respect for the team’s former quarterback.
Durant will start for the Montreal Alouettes in Regina Friday night. It’s his first game at Mosaic Stadium since his trade and bitter split with the team and Riders vice president of football operations, general manager and head coach Chris Jones.
Durant told reporters in Montreal there are no hard feelings, something echoed by Jones on Wednesday.
“He was a very good player for a long time for this organization and he did a lot of good things,” Jones said.
