It's far from a done deal, but a social media post Wednesday morning on Instagram seems to indicate Tom Brady wants to return to the Patriots next season.

After a devastating end to the season, including a pick-six on Brady’s final throw, the Patriots bowed out of the NFL playoffs in the unfamiliar wild-card round over the weekend, losing to the Tennessee Titans.

There has been plenty of speculation about what Brady's next move will be -- whether it's retirement, a move to a new team, or to remain with the Patriots -- but nothing definitive has been said about the quarterback's plans, WFXT reported.

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.

But the Instagram post thanked Patriots fans and the entire Kraft organization at Gillette Stadium saying, "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."

It’s vague, but it seems like a strong indication Brady isn’t finished with football.
