CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns receiver Corey Coleman asked Hue Jackson to trade him after he lost his job in practice to Antonio Callaway in practice last week, as revealed in a scene on the second episode of HBO's Hard Knocks Tuesday night.

After Coleman was demoted in practice on Aug. 4th, Jackson called him into his office to discuss his performance.

"Why am I running second team?" Coleman asks him.

"What did you say?" Jackson responds.



"Why am I running second team?'' Coleman repeats. "That s---'s crazy.



"Go ask (offensive coordinator) Todd (Haley),'' Jackson says.



"If you don't want me to play, why won't y'all just trade me?'' Coleman says.



The Browns did just that, shipping the 2016 No. 15 overall pick to the Bills for a 2020 seventh-round pick and a bag of peanuts.



Even Emmanuel Ogbah observes in a defensive line meeting that day, "Seventh-round bro, you know what that's like? That's like saying 'here....we don't need you,' that type s-- bro.''



The scene opened with NFL Films cameras at Coleman's downtown Cleveland apartment the day of the trade, scanning the receiver's 1,000 pairs of sneakers and Coleman explaining that he plans to give some away. At the time, Hard Knocks had no idea Coleman was about to be traded that night.



"Mothers that can't afford to buy their kids stuff, I can give that to them so everyone can have their go-to shoes,'' Coleman says.



The show then cuts to the Browns training camp practice fields, where Coleman struggles to win contested balls, drops passes and runs errant routes.



Cornerback Terrance Mitchell beats him one-on-one and Coleman tumbles to the ground. The ball falls incomplete.



"C'mon Corey, get some shoes that work! Stay off the ground!'' yells Haley.



"Details Corey. You've got to gain trust. If (the quarterback) doesn't think you don't know what to do, it's going to be a hard time gaining that trust. It happens all the time,'' yells Haley.



Cornerback T.J. Carrie blankets Coleman and he can't get open.



"C'mon Corey, run Corey!"



Mitchell beats him again in single coverage and Coleman can't separate to make the catch.



"Go get it! Aah! Come up with that Corey! '' yells Haley. "That's you against him! Come up with that ball! Pride yourself in it!''



Carrie gets inside Coleman in the red zone and breaks up the pass, and Haley's seen enough.



"C'mon Corey! In the red zone making a f-- mental error. Giving up on a ball inside that's in your f-- chest!



"It wasn't in my chest,'' Coleman responds.



"That's about what it's been,'' said Haley. "Until you show me otherwise, I'll get excited. Right now, I'm not.''



Haley then walks inside with a staffer and rips on Coleman.



"I think he looks around, and he's distracted,'' he said. "One of the (go routes) it looked like he was running five miles an hour. We've just got to get his brain right.''



The show then cuts to the scene in Jackson's office. Later that night, after Coleman is traded, he drives out of the dark parking lot and yells, "Adios, Cleveland.''



The day before the trade, Coleman was demoted to second-team in practice behind Callaway, and looked miffed on the sidelines. After practice, when asked about Coleman not taking reps, Jackson said he was suffering from a hamstring injury. In reality, Coleman had lost his job and was soon on his way out.



The day after the trade, when receivers coach Adam Henry addressed his players in the receiver room, he noted it was time to turn the page.



"When you're changing the culture, every little bit counts,'' he said. "Now Corey's gone and again we've got to step up. We can't control what we can't control. Just move on. That's how life is. We all wish him the best, but again in here we have to take care of what we have to take care to step up. Young guys you gotta make sure they notice, you gotta get on this, alright? Let's go get it. Be famous or be forgotten.''



Coleman, the first player drafted with the bounty of picks received in the Carson Wentz trade with the Eagles, will return to FirstEnergy Stadium Friday night for the second preseason game as a member of the Bills.
