Former Steelers linebacker Anthony Chickillo has made a deal with the enemy. Ailing at the linebacker position after their star Von Miller was placed on injured reserve, the Denver Broncos signed Chickillo off the New Orleans Saints practice squad. This is according to the linebacker’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
In 65 games with Pittsburgh, Chickillo recorded 7.5 sacks, 97 tackles (11 for loss), 15 QB hits, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
The Steelers released Chickillo in March in an effort to create breathing room in the cap. By doing so, they saved $5 million in cap space.
