Its by design, perhaps I didn't explain it well.

Money for Free Agents is CURRENT SEASON money. The contracts you sign free agents too start counting against your team immediately. As a result you can not exceed your teams budget for this year. (Based on last years revenue + cash on hand)

Money for Extensions is based on NEXT SEASONS payroll. The contract extension doesn't start counting against your payroll until next year. However because next season you have less money committed for next year, as a result, you have money left.

The difference comes because of the timing when the contract takes effect.
