Uh Byron was very good during his time here. In 2014 he was responsible for the culture shift and in 2015 he was a huge part of our place in the standings and then he got injured. Size fetish bias + some bad luck on breakaways got him waived, not performance. The player feaster traded for + getting rid of Kotalik was not a horrible return.

We waived Byron for no reason other than size fetish bias. Neither Bollig, Colborne nor Raymond deserved roster spots over him and in retrospect neither did Bouma. But the key point is this: a different management group elected to waive him. Feaster elected to bring him in while getting rid of dead salary. Feaster did not get horrible return because Treliving thought Brandon Bollig brought more to the table (lol)
