Darian Durant ‘knows we want him here’ says Riders head coach
The calls to keep Darian Durant in Saskatchewan got a little bit louder this week, after the quarterback rushed in the game winning touchdown in overtime on Sunday.
Durant’s contract expires at the end of the 2016 season, and it has left many wondering what’s next for the 11 year CFL veteran and if the Roughriders are interested in keeping him.
On Thursday, head coach and general manager Chris Jones said they were.
“I spoke with Darian and we spoke with the people who represent him,” Jones said. “(Contract) talks are going to take place a little bit later, but again, they know of our interest and (Durant) knows we want him here.”
