Another former Pittsburgh Steeler has inked a contract elsehwhere, OLB Anthony Chickillo landing a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints per his agency.
Via ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Chickillo was released after signing a two-year deal with Pittsburgh prior to the 2019 season. But last year proved to be a disaster for him. Playing in just 11 games, he registered just half-a-sack and 19 total tackles. He made headlines for all the wrong reasons, arrested in October on charges of simple assault, criminal mischief, and harassment following an argument with his then-girlfriend.
He spent one week on the league’s reserve/exempt list.
