Dead money question


Imagine some of you could answer this....I have a mental block when it comes to sports financials:

What does it mean when an owner says he's willing to "eat" the dead money? Does that mean the cap grows by the same amount? What is the benefit to doing that, other than getting a player off your roster.

Thanks for any help.
