Fans have some interesting theories about retired American footballer Tom Brady's next career move.
The former quarterback hung up his boots last week, and since then eagle eyed supporters have clocked some eyebrow-raising social media posts.
Brady, 45, now has some free time on his hands after playing as a quarterback for 23 NFL seasons.
He announced last Wednesday (February 10) that he is 'retiring for good' from the pitch.

Due to a recent Twitter thread, many fans have now decided Brady is about to start up an OnlyFans.
Brady once took to Twitter to comment on a photo post by BRADY - the American football star's clothing line.
The photos in question showed two men in just their boxers posing in an advertisement for the brand's 'game-changing' underwear.
Brady responded to the ad and replied: "40k likes and I’ll recreate these photos," just before asking if the company could send him 'more of the socks'.
The tweet subsequently garnered over 49k likes, a whole nine-thousand over what Brady would need to strip down and pose in his briefs himself.
The clothing line clearly clocked on to this and today (February 6), they reminded the former-NFL star of his promise.
BRADY tweeted: "Hey Tom Brady, we haven’t forgotten about this," referencing the bet the retiree had agreed to.
To the surprise of many supporters, Brady actually followed through with his bet and uploaded a picture of himself sitting in a room with a seaside view in just his underwear - just like the models from the advert.
Tagging the clothing brand alongside fellow American footballers Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, Brady uploaded the photo with the caption: "Did I do it right?"
Edelman, 36, previously modelled underwear for Calvin Klein while Gronkowski, 33, posed in pants for the Brady Brand itself - hence why Brady was asking for their approval.
The picture shows Brady sat on a bed with a strategically-placed hand to cover anything too intimate.
The tweet has since gone viral with over 9.5 million views, 13k likes and thousands of comments.
One Twitter user wrote: "Tom Brady is in his OnlyFans era after retirement! WOW!"
"Tom Brady retired and now [about to] drop the OnlyFans," a second added.
A third posted: "One week without football [and] Tom Brady already got the OnlyFans jumping."
Taking the speculations even further, one Twitter user wondered: "How much money do we think Tom Brady would make in his first 24 hours on OnlyFans?"
"I’m not sure my mortal eyes could handle his godly form," admitted another.
Congratulating the retiree, a final Twitter user commented: "Grind never stops."
