Jansen's Future in Doubt?

You run into trouble when a player is nearing the end of his contract. If you want to clear salary cap for those players, you need to extend them.

well, you missed where i said generally, or the post i was responding too. but for example, jansen's restructure added a whole lot more money to the pot for him with the extra years.

That comment was a while ago, I don't quite remember what we were talking about. But yeah, when a contract is backloaded like ours always are, you have two choices: extend the contract or cut the player. There's always a third option: try to get the player to accept a paycut. That hardly ever goes over well, though.
