NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio -- Controversy was swirling around Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn, and he hasn't even taken a snap yet, NewsChannel5 reported.

Quinn was at Great Northern Mall in North Olmsted Saturday afternoon signing autographs.

It cost at least $75 for a signed picture and up to $225 for other merchandise.

Should Fans Have To Pay For Autographs?

Several fans called NewsChannel5 saying they thought they could bring anything for the Browns QB to sign. But then they found out they had to buy either an autographed picture or previously signed merchandise. They said there was no advertising that autograph seekers would have to pay.

The station tried to reach mall officials and the local radio station which sponsored the event, but could not get any information.
