There is nothing in basic accounting principles about cash being available for "whatever purpose". That said, the game has its own rules and does not necessarily adhere to real life conventions.

OOTP treats cash as a current year item only. The owner can take it away at the end of the year and leave you with none. Therefore, cash does not apply to budget available for extensions, only for current year spending such as one-year contracts to free agents.
