Contract tenure map
One lane per player, one bar per status period, plotted from 2019 to today. Current members sit on top with open contracts running to the right edge; former players follow in reverse departure order. Colour marks the status each period was held in, and a gap in a lane is time away from the organisation. Service counts starter, stand-in and coach periods; bench time is shown separately and never added to it (open contracts on the active roster average 2y 4m of service today). Hover a bar for that period's dates and, when recorded, its maps and the player's rating with 9z; tap a lane for the full contract record. The same moves appear in the transfer ledger below.
