The five-foot-11, 214-pound Durant was entering his first season with Winnipeg after signing with the Bombers as a free agent in January. Durant spent 11 seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, leading the club to consecutive Grey Cup appearances (2009-10) before winning in 2013. Durant appeared in 174 career games over 12 CFL seasons, starting 128. Durant stands 14th in all-time passing yards, registered 38 300-yard games and seven times had more than 400 yards passing in a contest. “We were informed prior to the start of our mini-camp that Darian Durant, along with his family, was reconsidering continuing his career,” Walters said in a statement.
