Get him off the sidelines, out of that hoodie, and back to practice. I don’t like the idea of rewarding guys for this kind of behavior, but nothing good ever comes from getting into a pizzing match with your all pro RB, and it never hurts to make the first step towards reconciliation.
The bottom line is that having him on the field increases the chances for success, and it helps in Richardson’s development. The last thing we need is for a rookie QB to walk into a toxic locker room.
If I thought we could find a greater fool willing to give up a 1st round draft pick for him, I’d say trade. But, I don’t see anyone willing to do that.

First off, we'd have to assume that he's actually healthy and faking it. So assuming he's healthy... working out an extension in the $8m/yr range is very reasonable. However, as far as we know, the word is that Taylor wanted top-RB money which is double that...
Which is not reasonable, on top of assuming he's even healthy. They didn't budge with Moore, they shouldn't budge with Taylor.
