Veteran Darian Durant to face former team to kick off 2017 CFL regular season
TORONTO — Quarterback Darian Durant won’t have to wait long to face his former team.
Durant will make his Montreal debut June 22 when the Alouettes kick off the 2017 CFL regular season at home against Saskatchewan. Durant signed a three-year deal last month with the Alouettes, who acquired his rights from the Roughriders.
Durant spent 11 seasons with Saskatchewan and led the franchise to the 2013 Grey Cup title. He also guided the Riders to the CFL title game in 2009 and 2010, losing both times to Montreal.
Durant, 34, has appeared in 155 career CFL games and thrown for 28,136 yards with 149 TDs. He has also run for 2,888 yards on 369 carries (7.8-yard average) with 21 touchdowns.
