The first question he answered was, what caused his conflict with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger?
Brown said, there was no conflict, "it's just a matter of respect! Mutual respect! He has a owner mentality like he can call out anybody including coaches. Players know but they can't say anything about it otherwise they meal ticket gone. It's a dirty game within a game. #truth"

The second question was, "what would you tell people that say you only want a new team to get a new contract?"
Brown said, "Not for the money its for the love of the sport ! The commitment to win relentlessly consistently passionately ! Plus I made 70 million it's public record not to be cocky just truth! Time to play for my own Team AB84 the family !"

When a fan questioned Brown for sitting out the last game of the season vs. the Cincinnati Bengals, Brown responded by blaming coach Mike Tomlin for telling the team he "quit while nursing some bumps."

Brown also had the following post in response to Roethlisberger calling him out for running the wrong route, which led to an interception in the fourth quarter of a loss this season.
