Shortening of capslock, itself a shortening of "capital letters lock". As the usage of capital letters online often carries the connotation of yelling or screaming (which can be rude), leaving capslock on accidentally can lead to confrontation, hence "caps" to inform people that you did it by accident. I have no clue why this shit has not been added yet considering how important it is to internet etiquette.
The phrase "caps" itself can be considered a shortening of "sorry, left capslock on". "sorry, caps" is also common.

In sports (both real and fantasy) a player with a high salary that underachieves or performs below expectations. This player ties up a considerable amount of salary under the salary cap, hence the name cap hog.
"Smith is only scoring 3 points a game. We need to get rid of him, he is just a cap hog at this point."
"I need to get Johnson off of my team, he is just a cap hog at this point."
