Ben Affleck texted Tom Brady about his future with the Patriots. This was his response.

Tom Brady doesn’t limit his emoji use to Instagram — the Patriots quarterback apparently uses them when texting Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, too.

In an appearance on ESPN’s “Get Up,” Affleck told hosts Mike Greenberg, Jalen Rose, and Laura Rutledge that he and Damon had texted Brady about whether he was coming back to the Patriots next season.

“Me and Matt texted him, and said, ‘What’s the deal? You going or you staying?’ And this is what we got back: an emoji,” Affleck said, doing his best impression of the shrug emoji (ud83eudd37‍u2642ufe0f).
