Dillon Gabriel’s fiancée, Zo Caswell, recently took to TikTok to address a fan’s comment following Cleveland’s loss on Sunday. Caswell revealed that there is a preference within the Browns organization for Gabriel to be playing instead of Shedeur Sanders, who has been starting for the team in recent games.
Gabriel lost his starting quarterback position after suffering a concussion in Week 11, paving the way for Sanders, the fifth-round pick and son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, to take over as the starting QB for Cleveland. Despite Sanders’ recent starts, Caswell’s TikTok response hinted that there is a desire among those within the organization for Gabriel to reclaim his spot.
In response to a TikTok user who challenged her claims about internal preferences, Caswell stood by her statement, emphasizing that she has insider knowledge that the fan lacks. Gabriel, who started six games for the Browns before his injury, has faced a rocky season with a 1-5 record.
Meanwhile, Sanders led Cleveland to a victory over the Raiders in his first start in Week 12 but struggled in the recent game against the 49ers, where he faced three sacks and the team lost two critical fumbles. Despite the challenges, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski has named Sanders as the starter for the upcoming game against the Titans, indicating that the organization sees this phase as an evaluation period for the young quarterback.
Looking ahead, it is likely that Cleveland, with a 3-8 record, will continue to assess Sanders’ performance before potentially considering drafting a high-caliber quarterback in the 2026 draft. The team’s decision-making process will be crucial as they aim to strengthen their quarterback position for the future.
As the Browns navigate through the remainder of the season, the dynamics between Gabriel and Sanders will be closely monitored by fans and analysts alike. The ongoing quarterback situation in Cleveland adds an intriguing layer to the team’s trajectory and potential roster adjustments in the coming seasons.
