Shilo Sanders doesn’t seem to think too highly of Mary Kay Cabot’s Browns coverage.
Cleveland.com’s Instagram account shared video Wednesday of its longtime beat writer saying she believes Deshaun Watson should be named the Browns’ starting QB over Sanders’ brother, Shedeur.
“Go make a sandwich Mary,” Shilo commented under the video.
In responding to the misogynistic report, Cabot, the 2025 Bill Nunn Memorial Award winner, took the high road.
“I really do believe that I have been an inspiration for lots of women’s and young girls to know that you can go out there and do a good job in a man’s world and take on all of that that comes on with that,” Cabot said in an appearance on Cleveland’s 92.3 The Fan on Thursday.
“I know so many women who have joined the football world especially because of some of the things I’ve been able to do over the years, I’m happy about that.
“I’m just happy that I’ve been able to help set the tone and open some doors in that way and I know that will continue. That’s just how I feel about that.”
Despite Cabot’s opinion, Shedeur remains firmly in the mix to become the Browns’ starter, competing with Watson and fellow second-year quarterback Dillon Gabriel as new coach Todd Monken told reporters after the franchise drafted Taylen Green out of Arkansas in the sixth round.
“Well, let’s just talk about what competition means at every position,” Monken said Saturday. “Every player that’s going to be a part of our roster is going to be competing, right? … There has to be some form of a depth chart per say. Everybody has a chance to compete. They just, they’re not always going to get equal reps, if that makes sense. You know, it’s what is a competition. Every guy that’s in training camp, every guy that’s part of the roster, the amount of reps they get that’s to be determined.”
As for Shilo, there’s probably bigger concerns surrounding his football career.
A college teammate of Shedeur’s under their father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, at Colorado, the linebacker signed with the Buccaneers after going undrafted, but was cut out of training camp after he punched an opposing player and was ejected.
He was unable to catch on with the 49ers, and was later sued by a law firm over alleged unpaid bills.
