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 on 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.

Durant threw for 3,233 yards with 15 TDs but also had 16 interceptions.

On Saturday, Montreal signed former NFL starter Josh Freeman to a two-year deal.
