As the NFL regular season nears, the more fans are spewing out trash talk. But it isn’t stopping with fans. Monday, Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett fired a warning shot at Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, according to NFL Network.

That seems peculiarly light from a NFL player’s standpoint. Although, this is coming from a Seahawks player from a different division and has yet to play Prescott in a regular-season game. The Seahawks face the Cowboys in Week 16 (Christmas Eve) this year. That warning shot seems a little early.

Prescott is an easy target after his record-breaking rookie season. That puts a large target on his back. Fans should take it as a compliment that a player from outside the division is thinking about the Cowboys already. It signifies that other teams think of Dallas as a true contender.

Bennett and Prescott are a long way off from settling it on the field. Until then, expect more trash talk from Bennett if he is already running his mouth during training camp.
