Money for nothing: Redskins not getting much from key investments

ASHBURN, Va. -- They're making the money, but not the plays. And that has been an issue for the Washington Redskins. Too many of their big-money guys are either sidelined or not doing enough on the field, and it all adds up to an 0-2 record and endless questions about where the team is headed.

Of the Redskins' top six players in terms of salary-cap space, three haven't been on the field this season.

"It's a bummer, that's all I can say," Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.

Quarterback Alex Smith, left tackle Trent Williams and tight end Jordan Reed haven't played.
