Browns fans were thrilled when the team traded back into round one in order to stop the free-fall of quarterback Brady Quinn. We're not so sure that they still feel that way.

First, there's the suggestion that the guy who was taken with the No. 22 overall pick in the draft wants to be paid as if he was drafted in the top ten.But, you see, he wasn't. He was No. 22. And, for draft picks, a guy's first contract is tied directly to where he was drafted.


And, as far as the Browns fans go, there's only one thing worse than attempting to gouge the team. It's attempting to gouge the fans themselves.

According to WEWS in Cleveland, Quinn was at a local mall on Saturday to sign autographs. The only catch? The minimum cost for a signed item was $75, and the maximum was $225.

Fans who brought their own items for signature reportedly weren't permitted to get the items signed.

Just as one NFL train wreck finally is unfolding in Atlanta, we sense another one coming on the shores of Lake Erie. It might not happen this year, but it's coming.

They'll get over it when Quinn gets into a real game and starts throwing TD passes all the time.

Perhaps, but that's still pretty classless, fleecing the fans like that.

But when he starts winning games this wont matter.

But he's not winning games all the time. He hasnt even played a game yet.
I totally agree with Lefty. This is without any class what so ever. Who does he think he is? Peyton Manning or Dan Marino? If I were a Brown fan, after this he would really have something to prove to me.

It will, to some people. Not everyone forgets easily, especially if it's their kid getting stiffed.

the kid who was scared hed even be picked in the 1st round is acting mighty cocky, being a rookie, not even played 1 game yet and hes charging $75-225 a pop in a local mall is plain wrong..has he even been named starter yet?

Nope. And he never will be if he doesn't sign and prove he can beat out Charlie Frye.
