Tom Brady Posts Cryptic Picture on Twitter

Tom Brady is set to enter free agency for the first time in his career on March 18 and has yet to commit to the Patriots or retirement. Adding to the uncertainty, the six-time Super Bowl Champion tweeted a cryptic photo Thursday evening that shows him standing in the tunnel in what looks to be Gillette Stadium, wearing formal attire in a black and white photo with no caption.

Patriots’ fans are looking for answers and haven’t heard from Brady since he addressed his future four days after losing to the Titans in the first round of playoffs. Brady posted a picture of himself on Instagram and said,  “I just wanted to say to all of our fans, THANK YOU! After a few days of reflection, I am so grateful and humbled by the unconditional support you have shown me the past two decades. Running out of that tunnel every week is a feeling that is hard to explain. I wish every season ended in a win, but that’s not the nature of sports (or life). Nobody plays to lose. But the reward for working hard is just that, the work!! I have been blessed to find a career I love, teammates who go to battle with me, an organization that believes in me, and fans who have been behind us every step of the way. Every one of us that works at Gillette Stadium strived to do their best, spent themselves at a worthy cause, and prepared to fail while daring greatly (h/t Teddy Roosevelt). And for that, we’ve been rewarded with something that the scoreboard won’t show – the satisfaction of knowing we gave everything to each other in pursuit of a common goal. That is what TEAM is all about. In both life and football, failure is inevitable. You dont always win. You can, however, learn from that failure, pick yourself up with great enthusiasm, and place yourself in the arena again. And that’s right where you will find me. Because I know I still have more to prove.”

Rumors have been floating around that suggest he may head to Tennessee to play under former teammate and friend Mike Vrabel but who knows if there’s any truth to that.

Hours before the Patriots took the field against the Titans, owner Robert Kraft told NBC Sport’s Peter King, “Before the season started it was very important to Tom that he be free to do whatever he wanted at the end of the year. You know what I said to myself? That any person who plays 20 years for this team and helps us get to nine Super Bowls, and been really selfless, has earned that right. I love the young man like he’s part of my family. Blood family. Anyone who’s done that has earned the right to control his future after 20 years. And you know, my hope and prayer is number one, he play for the Patriots. Or number two, he retires. He has the freedom to decide what he wants to do and what’s in his own best personal interest.”
