Hall of Fame Browns reporter responds to Shilo Sanders’ inappropriate comment

On Thursday, Cabot responded to what was clearly a sexist comment from Shilo Sanders.

“I really do believe I have been an inspiration for lots of women 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 … that comes with that,” Cabot said, per Cleveland’s 92.3 The Fan.

Browns quarterback shuffle

Cleveland has struggled to find an answer at quarterback since acquiring Watson from the Houston Texans in 2022. The Browns handed Watson a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract, stunning many NFL experts.

Between a disciplinary suspension and injuries to his shoulder and Achilles, Watson has played just 19 games with the Browns. When on the field, he turned in an 80.7 quarterback rating, well below the 104.5 he recorded as a Texan.

In the 2025 draft, Cleveland took two quarterbacks in Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Both got a chance to start with mixed results. Sanders went 3-4 as a starter and earned a Pro Bowl nod despite throwing more interceptions (10) than touchdown passes (seven).

What comes next?

Shilo Sanders, who spent 2025 training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before being cut, has yet to comment on the controversy.

It’s likely someone in the Sanders camp will make it clear to him that it’s not a good look to let sexist comments stand. Such a spotlight also does nothing to help Shedeur Sanders’ bid to remain the Browns’ starter.

Expect an apology from Shilo Sanders soon.
