Tom Brady is officially playing with our emotions. The will-he-or-won't-he narrative that has dominated the offseason kicked into another gear Thursday evening when the quarterback posted a cryptic image on Twitter.

Everyone had a theory within minutes of him tweeting the black-and-white photo, which appears to show Brady walking onto the football field in everyday clothes.

Is he walking onto Gillette Stadium, signifying he's staying in New England? Is he giving up the football pads and retiring? Is he leaving Foxborough? Does he just like the photo?

Brady didn't post any text with the photo, so it's impossible to tell. Patriots fans may still have to wait several more weeks to find out.
