The Winnipeg Blue Bombers' newly signed backup quarterback announced his retirement through a link posted on his Twitter account Friday morning. Durant didn't tell the Winnipeg Blue Bombers about his decision, the team said in a statement released shortly after Durant's announcement. He threw for 5,542 yards the following year and is ranked second all-time for passing yards in franchise history for the Roughriders and third in passing touchdowns. The Alouettes finished dead last in the CFL last year and Durant was released by the team. Darian Durant was released by the Montreal Alouettes in January 2018, a day before he was set to receive a $150,000 bonus.
