New England Patriots Tom Brady took to Twitter to share a song, prompting some fans to speculate this could be his last season.

Brady quoted the Jay-Z song, “My 1st Song,” in the tweet.

“’Treat my first like my last, and my last like my first!’” Brady wrote in the caption along with pictures of himself participating in minicamp on June 4.

Brady is currently 41 and will turn 42 in August. He led the Patriots to yet another Super Bowl during the 2018-19 season, his sixth.

Some fans started freaking out over the missive.

“WHATCHU MEAN, LAST???” one wrote.

“Please don’t use words like ‘last’ when referring to your career, thanks,” said another.

“You’re making me lose sleep,” said another.

“Tom this better just be a quote and not mean anything,” said yet another.

Others said that Brady wasn’t hinting at retirement or had other reactions.

“Everybody freaking out about last. He’s just staying hungry. Which is exactly what I want out of my almost 42-year-old QB,” said one user.

“The longer Tom Brady plays and the more he succeeds, the more I want to see him succeed…honestly can’t explain it, maybe just a respect thing,” said another.

Brady has regularly been asked about when he will retire in recent years but has said he’d like to keep playing until he’s 45.

When asked during an interview with ESPN in early February if the Super Bowl would be his last game, Brady said, “Zero.”

He also curled his fingers and thumb to make a “0” shape to emphasize his point.

“I’ve said that for a long time,” he said, adding, “No one wants to believe me.”

“I feel like I’m asked that a lot and I feel like I repeat the same answer, but no one wants to believe me,” said Brady.

Teammates at minicamp this week said that they were impressed with what they saw from Brady.

“Man, he’s still at the top of his game. It’s a credit to him, his hard work. We all knew that 10 years ago when I was here. He hasn’t changed. He still has the same energy. Guys still look up to him and follow his lead,” Benjamin Watson told the Boston Herald.

“Brady, in fact, was one of the better Patriots during the two-hour session. He threw the ball crisply and effectively most of the day. Participating in his 20th camp, he looked like he usually does: ahead of the class,” the Herald reported.

Maurice Harris, a free agent signing, said he’d been to Brady’s house recently to work out with him.

“I’m going to enjoy the process of getting better with (Brady) every day. I think the reps we all take as a team is going to help us,” Harris said following the workout. “It was nice meeting him. He’s a great guy. I look forward to continue working with him.”
