    Cap penalties. If a player is still owed guaranteed money when you cut/trade him all of that money is counted towards your cap the next season...

        "Available Funds" is not cap space, it's cash-on-hand. It's what you can pay out in signing bonuses.

          It's because re-signing your own players is for new contracts that go into effect the following season.

          You have 37M free for next season based on existing contracts but are apparently 20M over the cap in the current season. In other words, your roster would be illegal in NFL terms and you would be forced to get under the cap effective immediately, were you trying to play under those rules.
