Anthony Chickillo: Retiring from football
Chickillo announced Sunday he is retiring from football, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Chickillo spent the majority of his career in Pittsburgh but played his final season in Denver, where he recorded 11 tackles, a sack and a pass breakup over 11 games. It's unclear what prompted his immediate retirement, but it's worth noting he was not signed as of Sunday and may have just opted to start a new career.

Saints' Anthony Chickillo: Gets one-year deal in Big Easy
Chickillo agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Saints on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Chickillo has spent all five seasons of his career to date playing a rotational role in Pittsburgh's linebacker corps, and he'll now look to carve out a similar gig in New Orleans.
