Stickem Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 Late word out of Mont. today, according to their media, is that there'll be no bonus paid to Durant on Monday as was scheduled...Says there will be a restructuring or an outright release...I can't see Darian reducing is ask, although his play last year might warrant that...Does he take his services elsewhere???? Will he consider taking a back up spot somewhere else...like with us...I think we're about to find out soon
Bigblue204 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 God I hope the Bombers don't sign Durant. He should probably just hang em up at this point. Please don't sign here!!!!! SPuDS 1
Atomic Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 I'd welcome Durant as a backup here. Definitely. ALuCsRED, SPuDS and blue_gold_84 1 2
johnzo Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 always been a Durant fan but after watching him last year I really have to wonder how much game he has left. SPuDS and Brandon 2
holoman Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 I'd take Durant as a backup. for actual backup money.
Zontar Posted January 11, 2018 Author Report Posted January 11, 2018 Rider fans are feasting on this, you know, the fans who used to say Durant was better than Lancaster and the same fans who will give Durant a standing ovation when he is put on their wall of fame. Bunch of two faced fickle jackoffs. Poor Collaros doesnt know what he signed up for. blue_gold_84 1
Blueandgold Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 Durant has to be a better backup than Glenn. We know that Glenn is going to fold when the weather gets cold, Durant has played some of the best games of his career in November. Tracker 1
Floyd Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 If I'm Durant, I totally call this bluff... some team will offer him backup money with starter incentives or he can rest up until the first QB injury and get real $$
TBURGESS Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 I don't think it's a bluff. Montreal isn't going to pay Durant his bonus and there's no where else in the league where he'll get starters money. Heck... There's no other team who is even looking for a starter.

A take-it-or-leave-it offer from a team that desperately needs a QB. If I were Durant I think I'd gamble on holding out and let the dice land where they may... I don't see MTL having any other options other than re-signing Drew Willy (blech) or somehow landing Josh Freeman and hoping he's regained his form. Meanwhile, the Alouettes' lone bright spot, Johnathan Mincy, signs with da Bears.

I'd think he has a few years left in the tank.. 14 hours ago, holoman said: I'd take Durant as a backup. for actual backup money. and the understanding that he is not challenging for a starters role. as long as he is ok with that concept, I'd have zero issues with him as the backup. 13 hours ago, Zontar said: Rider fans are feasting on this, you know, the fans who used to say Durant was better than Lancaster and the same fans who will give Durant a standing ovation when he is put on their wall of fame.

Hell, any adversity and Glenn folds, Durant seems to have been made of more sterner stuff. Mark F and Tracker 1 1
Jimmy Pop Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 Durant tossing a few TDs to Dressler in a already-decided game vs the Riders would make me Having to rely on Durant & Dressler this year would have me JCon, SPuDS and Tracker 2 1
Bigblue204 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 I've never been a fan of Durant. And I never will be. Thought he was overrated in his prime and he seems to be overrated now. I'd take Glenn over him as a backup, though I hope the bombers can do better than both. JCon 1

It doesn't seem possible but Kavis has maneuvered the Als into a worse position now than they were one year ago at this time. SPuDS, JCon and Mark F 2 1

Thought he was overrated in his prime and he seems to be overrated now. I'd take Glenn over him as a backup, though I hope the bombers can do better than both. I'd take Glenn, too, simply because I think he'd come cheaper. Durant would be a great signing simply for the entertainment value alone, watching flatibillies' heads explode over it. Lots of uncertainty... Davis has been mostly a disappointment, LeFevour is nothing more than a short yardage/jumbo package 3QB, so the backup QB situation makes me nervous at this point.

Brandon Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 I'd give Durant a try out... the guy has looked off for 3 seasons now. Glenn would be probably the better choice since he better fits our offense. Both would have to come on the cheap.
