Jason Reid of the Washington Post reports that Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth will skip the team's mandatory mini-camp this week, and is demanding to be traded.

Previous reports on Tuesday had Haynesworth scheduled to take a physical at Redskins' headquarters at 6:30am ET on Wednesday, and participating in the mini-camp this week.

"The Redskins are trying to establish a new regime with new schemes at Redskins Park, and it is not an organization that Albert would have ever been attracted to just a short year ago - regardless of the money," Haynesworth's agent Chad Speck, told Reid on Tuesday night. "He has made it clear to me that he does not want to play for the Washington Redskins.

"This situation will be a distraction to the Redskins and to Albert and his teammates. I am certain [head coach] Mike [Shanahan] and [General Manager] Bruce [Allen] want to get the most out of their first year and it's probably in everyone's best interests for the Redskins to make a deal and trade Albert."

The Redskins declined to comment, deferring to head coach Mike Shanahan's scheduled session with the media on Wednesday.
