There are many, many extensions that could happen which likely won't have huge effects on this year's cap.
Possibilities include Ninkovich, Long, Branch, Knighton, Ryan and Harmon. I suppose one could include Cooper and Blount. These are extensions that could happen at any time, including during the season.
========
THE SIX CONTRACTS - THE UNDERPAID
Collins - $917K salary
Butler - $600K salary
Will Belichick offer these players $10M AAV or more on an extension? If it is a true extension, the only 2016 hit would be the amortized portion of the bonus. For example, a four year extension with a $10M bonus would only add $2.5M to the 2016 cap.
THE SIX CONTRACTS - THE SOURCES
The team has a bit of extra cap money at the moment. In addition, any of the following COULD be extended with significant cap savings.
Cannon - $3.4M (obviously a pay cut or a waiver is also a possibility)
Hightower - $7.8M
Sheard - $4.0M
Bennett - $5.51M
