ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Albert Haynesworth is staying away from another Redskins minicamp.

Haynesworth was absent again Friday when Washington opened its second voluntary minicamp under new coach Mike Shanahan. The two-time All-Pro defensive tackle is unhappy with the Redskins’ switch to a 3-4 defense and would prefer to be traded.

He’s also irked Shanahan by working with his own trainer and staying away from all of the team’s voluntary offseason conditioning sessions.

Shanahan said last month that Haynesworth “will not be traded.”

Haynesworth stayed away from the first minicamp in April, but he will be required to attended the mandatory minicamp next month.
