The thing you're missing is extensions to rookie deals that aren't in the 5th year option year are almost always backloaded from a cap standpoint. This is because the relatively low base salary for the year is rarely changed and the only additional cap hits are the signing bonus proration and potential roster bonus.
Even with a backloaded contract, it’s not gonna matter in terms of who we can resign. We’re still cap strapped just like every other nfl team
