NFL star Stefon Diggs has issued a cryptic message amid claims he could be cut by the New England Patriots over his viral boat video.
The wide receiver was filmed handling a bag containing an unknown substance while on a yacht surrounded by scantily-clad women over the Memorial Day weekend.
Diggs, 31, was seen lounging shirtless on the boat, chatting with three women - all dressed in bikinis - who called him 'daddy.' That is despite his girlfriend, rap star Cardi B, also enjoying the party onboard.
Towards the end of the clip, Diggs produced a plastic bag containing an unknown substance that one of the women took from him.
In the aftermath of the viral video, reports emerged claiming that New England could take serious action against the receiver unless they are satisfied with his explanation.
And the wideout appeared to address his NFL future with a subtle hint on Instagram Saturday.

Diggs shared a series of snaps to his Instagram Saturday, including one with girlfriend Cardi B
Diggs took to the social media platform to share a series of snaps from the past month before suggesting he needed to turn his attention to his work on the field.
'to the month of May, I appreciate you none the less… gotta stay focused,' he captioned the carousel of 20 photos, which included a picture of him sat courtside with Cardi at a New York Knicks game.
The cryptic post comes after Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reported that releasing Diggs wasn't off the table for the Patriots.
'I think all things are on the table and I think really - to me at least - it's going to boil down to what Stef told [head coach Mike] Vrabel, and how believable it was,' Breer told 98.5 The Sports Hub.
Diggs, a four-time Pro Bowler, only joined the Patriots in March. He signed a three-year, $69million contract which includes $25m guaranteed.
'It's going to be hard... the league is going to look into this, and they're going to hit a dead end because they're not going to be able to prove what was in the bag,' Breer continued.
'So then it's up to the team to make a decision. And if the team wants to recoup any of the guaranteed money, they have to cut him right away... my guess would be that the reason he wasn't at practice the other day might be because Mike told him to stay away and maybe they're sorting through everything now.'
Diggs did not attend voluntary practice on Wednesday, when Vrabel addressed the incident.

'It's something we're aware of and obviously we want to make great decisions on and off the field,' Vrabel said. 'Any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club.'
Breer believes Vrabel - a three-time Super Bowl champion - will have a 'pretty good sense' if he is being lied to. 'It's just how credible whatever Stefon Diggs says to him is,' Breer said.
'If [Diggs] comes in and gives you a believable story and then falls on the sword and goes in front of the team and apologizes for putting everybody in this position when they have to answer questions for him, then fine.'
Diggs joined the Patriots after one season with the Houston Texans. He is currently recovering from a torn ACL.
After the video went viral, an insider told the Daily Mail that Cardi B 'doesn't want her man flirting with any ladies.'
'Girls will throw themselves on him all the time, but she wishes he wouldn't be a scumbag and flirt back,' they said.
'Cardi has had her fair share of relationship issues, and she doesn't want it to continue with Stefon. And now that the video went viral, she is really frustrated with him that he would allow that to happen,' the source continued.
'He should know better, the fact that he didn't realize what was going on around him is embarrassing and she is mad at him.'
