ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Albert Haynesworth says he will be there when the Washington Redskins open training camp next month, despite a dispute that has teammates calling him selfish.

The disgruntled two-time All Pro defensive tackle released a statement Wednesday saying he plans to attend training camp “despite my current differences with the Redskins.”

Haynesworth stayed away from all offseason activities — including last week’s mandatory minicamp — because he is unhappy with the team’s switch to a 3-4 defense. The Redskins offered him a chance to find another team — until he collected a $21 million bonus on April 1.

Several teammates called Haynesworth selfish when he didn’t show for the minicamp last week.

The Redskins open training camp July 29.
