Anyone have a good resource to understand when cap holds come into play?

Also dead cap - what does this mean?

Thanks

"Dead cap" is the casual way to refer to money that is included on a team's cap for player(s) who are no longer on the team. It is the money paid to players waived with guaranteed money still owed to them.
