Darian Durant Would Consider Coming Out of Retirement for Blue Bombers

In the wake of the announcement that Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ quarterback Matt Nichols is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a knee injury sustained in training camp practice earlier this week, one retired signal caller is considering helping out the team.

According to TSN Football Insider Dave Naylor, recently retired quarterback Darian Durant would consider coming out of retirement to play for Winnipeg.

Durant signed with the Bombers this off-season but retired last month before training camp opened.

“We were informed prior to the start of our mini-camp that Darian Durant, along with his family, was reconsidering continuing his career,” Bombers general manager Kyle Walters said in a statement at the time. “Given the magnitude of this decision, we asked him to take the time to thoroughly consider his options and inform us of his decision.

“Ultimately, Darian has not informed the team of his decision, but we were notified through social media this morning that he has decided to retire from professional football. While we respect his decision, we are of course are extremely disappointed.

Durant, 35, threw for 3,233 passing yards and 15 touchdowns to 16 interceptions in 15 games with the Montreal Alouettes last season.
