Josh Norman has Eagles' Alshon Jeffery circled on his schedule

Josh Norman has Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery on the brain.

In an interview with Bleacher Report, the Washington Redskins cornerback predicted plenty of "bad blood" in the division this season and took aim at the high-profile receivers he'll be going up against.

"You think the NFC East didn't like each other before? This year right here? There's going to be a lot of fines and maybe some suspensions," he said.

Norman said his rival, Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr., "tries to be a tough guy" who acts like "a big kid" when opponents get physical with him. He called Dallas' Dez Bryant "just a guy" who doesn't "'wow' you."

Norman turned his attention to Jeffery when asked which receivers he has circled on his schedule.

"Alshon is going to be with us this year. He's a big guy. He uses his body. And I enjoy going against big guys because they think they can get physical with me," said Norman, who's entering his second season with the Redskins. "They think that. That's quite the contrary."

Norman won't have to wait long to get his shot, as Washington hosts the Eagles in Week 1.

"I'm going to be honest with you: This s--- is going to get really ugly," he said of the NFC East. "Because I do have a safety [D.J. Swearinger] that don't give a f--- and I definitely don't."
