Sounds like the Riders have lowered their offer to free agent QB Darian Durant from what was being offered last November:
Farhan Lalji ✔ @FarhanLaljiTSN
My understanding is that the new contract #Riders have offered Durant is LESS than last offer. 50k less guaranteed & 75k less signing bonus
In November, TSN Senior Correspondent Gary Lawless reported that the offer on the table was for $325,000 (guaranteed) and up to $400,000 with roster and player incentives. Lalji adds that the decrease in signing bonus this time is significant because it's taxed at a lower rate.
Riders play-by-play announcer Rod Pedersen of CKRM reported in November that Durant was willing to accept a salary of $350,000 (guaranteed), down from the $450,000 salary he earned in 2016.
