It's because free agent money figure only looks at this year's budget while extensions look at next year's. You'll see the opposite happen when someone in their fifth year goes from 5 years 170 days to 6 years. Suddenly you'll get more money available for extensions, because that player is no longer taking up money on next year's budget.
