I hope the FO gives Landry a contract extension before the final year of his contract.

Question for the salary cap experts: With this being an uncapped year, would giving Landry an extension now, and counting the bonus as a roster bonus be a valid way to front load the contract while minimizing cap impact in future years? I believe that a signing bonus gets prorated over the length of the contract while a roster bonus applies to just that season. Is this correct?
