Woah. This isn't about cash on hand.
Payroll in this game is determined exactly as you mention -- it's determined by the overall "budget." When I'm discussing this, I'm talking about available budget room which is what determines payroll. It's why est. extension money is the way it is -- it's a projection of the next year's available payroll. Cash on hand has nothing to do with it, as you say (take a look at the league in question, their payrolls would be even higher). I'm really not sure where you've misread this both here and in-game. Maybe people have used the terms interchangeably too much. Available payroll is very different from cash on hand, both in real life AND in the game.
FA make estimated demands based on the money available in the league (by payroll) not cash on hand.
