Posted May 11, 2018
Darian Durant: "To CFL, my former teammates, coaches, and all the guys I’ve battled against over the past 12 years, I want to say thank you for helping me develop into the man I am today. So many life lessons have been learned throughout this football journey. With that being said, I have decided to retire from football. I became a father earlier this year and (that) has played a big part in this decision." (Darian Durant)
