Extension Calculator Fix

For a brief window after the February league year rollover, the extension and franchise tag calculators were doing their math with all the reliability of a rookie quarterback in a snow game. The problem? They were pulling salary averages from the new league year's roster pool — a pool where half the teams hadn't even finished assembling their rosters yet. The result was position averages that looked like they were generated by a random number generator rather than actual contract data.

The fix locks all extension and franchise tag calculations onto the previous season's week 14 frozen salary snapshot — the gold standard of salary data, captured when rosters are at their most complete and stable. This frozen data stays in play until the current season reaches its own week 14 freeze, ensuring you never get calculations based on incomplete information. If you used the Trade Builder, Rosters, or Contract Tools pages during the rollover window and something looked off, this is why — and it's now corrected.
