My best guesses as to why they would just prefer to leave the $4m open and carry it over:
-in the unlikely event that they trade for a somewhat pricey player, it's probably easier for them to have the cap space and not bother with having to restructure anyone
-we're thinking of it in purely cap terms, but Benson can make a decent chunk of change just collecting interest on that extra $4m over the next year

And don't forget we need about a mil for the 52nd and 53rd players(combined not each) and another $800k for the PS players(again combined). That leaves us with closer to $2.5m for emergency signings, with anything left being carried over.

Last year we only had half a mil left to carry over.
