Jan 15, 2018 | 1:30 PM

MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes released veteran quarterback Darian Durant on Monday, the day before he was scheduled to receive a significant bonus.

Durant, 35, was due a $150,000 roster bonus Tuesday.

Durant signed a three-year, $1.25-million deal with Montreal after being acquired from the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Montreal posted a CFL-worst 3-15 record last season, missing the playoffs for a third straight season.
