Contract tenure map

Every Inner Circle contract since 2025

One lane per player, one bar per status period, plotted from 2025 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 11m of service today). Hover a bar for that period's dates and, when recorded, its maps and the player's rating with Inner Circle; tap a lane for the full contract record. The same moves appear in the transfer ledger below.
