This is not necessarily correct. Contract extensions consider the financial situation for
next year - logically enough, since that's when they're going to be paid out. If you have several players signed to escalating contracts, or expected to get raises through arbitration, then it is entirely possible for a team to have less available money for next year than for this year. There's certainly no reason why available money for next year must be exactly equal to available money for a free agent (i.e., for a contract being paid this year).
Do you still have the team's Player Salaries report from the same time as these other screenshots? That would help in determining whether a rising payroll is the explanation for the reduction in available money.
