I've seen this. I believe it has to do with how much cash teams have available for signings. The game is more aggressive in pursuing free agents now, so the prices have been driven up pretty high. If you bring down salary caps and cash maxes for teams, you'll see it look a bit more normal.

Hopefully in some future version of the game, the AI will understand how to budget itself properly and different teams will take different strategies. One team could be aggressive and spend all its available cash to win now, while another tries to build up a big reserve, while still another tries to maintain balance between income and salary demands.
