Michael Bennett's trade to the New England Patriots was made official Thursday, and younger brother Martellus Bennett seems eager to help him get acclimated to his new team.

Martellus, who spent the entire 2016 season and part of the 2017 campaign with the Patriots, took to Instagram to congratulate Michael and gave him a rundown of what he can expect from Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, and the rest of the team.

"I know there's a lot of pressure to come in a city after I've left my mark of awesomeness there, but just be yourself and they'll love (you) almost as much as they loved me," Martellus wrote.

Congratulations to the best dressed defensive lineman in football @mosesbread72 on signing with @patriots I’m excited to see you do work on the field in front of the best fans in all of sports. Just stay out of Bill’s way and he won’t fuck with you. Although I think you both will have a lot to discuss as you both love history. @mccourtytwins Is a hater. Dev is but not Jason he cool. @jdevelin is a good dude to talk to about life you’ll like him he has a thirst for growth as a human. @tombrady is real down to earth we bonded over interior decor you to will probably bond over traveling and places you love outside of the US. @dharm21 has a wonderful family def take the kids over there. @edelman11 will probably piss you off one day don’t punch him. Lol. He just had one speed and that’s hard. @_boomtower is smooth y’all will probably have the most in common on defense in style and demeanor as competitors. Ted the nutritionist is dope he reads a lot as do you. He really knows his shit. Moses is a good dude but he be tripping with the workouts. Nancy I’m sure you meet her she’s the best. Darryl is my guy you’ll get to know him he’s the black trainer. Hahaha. They have the best training staff. @23patrickchung Is a dog like you out there one of the toughest guys you’ll like playing with him. It’s a good group of guys that are very welcoming and just want to compete and win. Berj is the guy with all of the answers don’t believe the hype about anyone else being the person with answers. I plan on poaching him from Bill and the team one day to come help run things @theimaginationagency I told him this. 😂 Live in Boston if you can no offense but Foxboro is not the place to be unless it’s game day. Lol. But yaayyyy I’m excited for you. I know there’s a lot of pressure to come in a city after I’ve left my mark of awesomeness there but just be yourself and they’ll love almost as much as they loved me. 🤣😂🤣 I forgot about @gronk he’s a lot smarter than people think.

In an interview with the Patriots' official website, Michael admitted to hating the team while his brother was playing for them.

"He loved it, but the fact that he loved it made me hate it," Michael said. "Then he won ... I was the brother that was the Super Bowl champ and then he took that from me. He just took it."
