Add an offseason decision-support view that helps the user choose which players to extend, franchise-tag, transition-tag, rookie-tag, or release. The underlying tag/designation mechanics exist; what is missing is the assistant surface that compares the options for each player and quantifies the salary-cap and roster impact of each choice.

## Existing infrastructure

- RFA / transition / franchise / rookie tag mechanics implemented (per completed `refactor-transition-tags-to-restricted-free-agency-tags.md`).
- Player contract value (`player_contract_value`), salary-adjusted pts_added, market salary already computed.

## Implementation sketch

- Per-player table for the user's roster showing: current contract terms, projected ROS value, salary-adjusted value, and the cost/duration of each retention method.
- Highlight the best retention method per player given remaining cap headroom.
- Constraint visualization: aggregate salary impact across selected retentions.
