When the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins faced off the last few years there were always fireworks because Josh Norman and Dez Bryant were not afraid to trash talk each other.  There were a few times that the players had to be separated on the field and there was not a shortage of trash talk after each game.

With Bryant gone from the Cowboys, Norman can just focus on the rest of the receivers and he is excited to not have to talk about Dez.

“I don't miss it at all,” Norman said Thursday via ESPN. “It's a relief, if anything. I think the media moreso misses it than we do, just leading up to it and all the antics that come along with it.”

That doesn't mean that Norman isn't ready to take shots at this years team. The Cowboys brought out UFC fighter Conor McGregor during the pregame last Sunday and that gave Norman a perfect time to make fun of McGregor and the Cowboys. When asked who he would bring out to pump up his team his choice was easy, Khabib Nurmagomedov the guy who just beat McGregor.

“It wouldn't be him. It would be the guy that beat him,” Norman said. “I don't understand why they got him. I'm just saying. If I can call that guy, he can come back over to the States. I would definitely bring him here for that match.”

Norman isn't afraid to shy away from the trash talk and it appears that he going after UFC fighters since Dez won't be across from him on the field on Sunday.
