Mary Kay Cabot: Browns Fans Are More Open to Deshaun Starting
Podcast:The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima Published On: Thu Jul 23 2026 Description: Browns beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot joins the show and lays out how Deshaun Watson has spent the offseason proving he's serious, from working out at the facility during his break to organizing a Miami passing camp, while cautioning that Shedeur Sanders' strong OTAs and minicamp performance is making the decision genuinely difficult for Todd Monken. She pushes back on the claim that fans overwhelmingly want Sanders to start, arguing the vitriol toward Watson is louder online than it is in the community, and predicts Watson will need strong early road games to build goodwill if he wins the job. Cabot also breaks down the Browns' young core, ranked fourth in the NFL for under-25 talent, and how the defense plans to distribute pass-rush production now that Myles Garrett is gone.
