Apparently the reason you have $11,915,268 for player signings is because your league has a salary cap of $85,000,000.

$11,915,268 plus your current payroll of $73.084,372 = exactly $85,000,000.

While it says the figure is based on projected budget room plus cash, it also takes into account the salary cap of the league.

For those asking about extensions, somehow (rather mysteriously, as far I can figure), the game takes into account your current financials, next year's already contracted salaries (which may include some increases over the present year), and an amount set aside for any arbitration contracts that will be arbitrated in the off season.
