Teammates support teammates.

The San Francisco 49ers reportedly came to terms with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk on a four-year, $120 million deal with $76 million guaranteed. Following the news, 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel took to Instagram to share some love for his teammate.

Aiyuk and Samuel are a huge reason the 49ers offense is as dynamic as it is. Aiyuk had 75 catches for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023 while Samuel had 60 catches for 892 yards and seven touchdowns in the passing game and 225 yards with five touchdowns on the ground.

The duo, alongside running back Christian McCaffrey and tight end George Kittle, form a terrifying offense for opposing defenses. The 49ers went 12-5 in 2023 and reached the Super Bowl.

While Aiyuk could have a slower start due to his hold-in during contract negotiations, it looks like Samuel and his other teammates will pick him up before he gets back into game shape.

The 49ers will open the 2024 season on Sept. 9 against the New York Jets.
