Bryant told Jackson he was 'looking for realness'

Free agent wide receiver Dez Bryant spent a few days dodging the Cleveland Browns' phone calls, but a meeting did eventually take place.

A few days after the Browns' impressive preseason opener, the former Cowboys receiver was in Cleveland to meet with Browns head coach Hue Jackson. Hard Knocks was there to document the entire meeting.

Bryant went around the facility to introduce himself to every person he saw, and in the private meeting with Jackson, Bryant made it clear that free agency was all new for him. He wanted to find a coach he was comfortable with.

"I'm just looking for realness. That's all," he told Jackson.

The meeting, though, did not lead to a signing, and the Browns have seemingly cooled off on Bryant since Josh Gordon announced his return to the team.

We'll get a look at the full meeting during Tuesday's episode of Hard Knocks on HBO.
