Alex Smith's deal provided cap space, so why aren't Redskins spending big?

Quarterback Alex Smith's contract -- rather than a big one for Kirk Cousins -- was supposed to help the Washington Redskins do more with deals for others. And, yet, the Redskins have been quiet. Which leads us to the lead question in this week's mailbag.

I thought skins went with AS over KC so they could use the $ saved to build the rest of the roster. With the swings and misses in FA I'm starting to think paying KC was the way to go. The roster looks worse than when skins were paying Kirk big $ Am I missing something?
