AJ Brown has once again been vocal about his displeasure at the diminution of his role in the Philadelphia Eagles' offense. And at least one person has a stern warning about it.

During a Twitch stream on Tuesday, the star wide receiver said about his team's situation:

“It’s a mess. You on some ‘How you been?’ Struggling, brother.”

That has sparked much discourse, and Cam Newton is among those who have shared their thoughts. On Friday's episode of First Take, the former MVP said:

"The Philadelphia Eagles is a walking ticking time bomb of dysfunction. It's all in their resume. It's all in the things that they have been trying to do. The Philadelphia Eagles have been masking, putting mascara, putting makeup...so much because they have been winning."

He continued:

"When you have a record-breaking, record-setting running back, a lot of things that are raising flags, like 'We're able to cover this up because we're winning.' So, now, when you have a person to speak truth ... he's just setting the record straight and telling everybody what should be the expectation every week."

Terrell Owens speaks up on AJ Brown-Eagles tensions

Another person who had thoughts on AJ Brown's frustrations was Terrell Owens.

The Hall of Famer is no stranger to causing tensions within his teams. During his two years as an Eagle, he memorably feuded with quarterback Donovan McNabb, even as they helped the franchise reach a Super Bowl - tensions that got him suspended by the team, then deactivated and released.

And he can relate to Brown's plight, saying in an interview on Fox 29's Good Day Philadelphia:

"If you're in an offense, especially with [Brown] being WR1, you want to be involved. I don't blame him, that's an offensive coordinator thing. ...I truly understand where he's coming from, you have to utilize the guy based on his skillet."

He continued:

"Jalen (Hurts) has to shoulder some of that responsibility too, because he's the quarterback, he's an extension of the head coach and the offensive coordinator."

He concluded with this message:

"Get the guy the ball."

The Eagles' next game will be against the Detroit Lions this Sunday. Kickoff is at 8:20 pm ET on NBC.
