The Pittsburgh Steelers signed outside linebacker Anthony Chickillo to a two-year, $8 million contract officially yesterday at the start of the new league year, which is a substantial windfall for the career backup who, up to this point of his career has had his special teams contributions and his ability to play on both the left and right side of the defense featured as his greatest attributes.
Which is partly what leads me to believe that he may only see the first year of that deal, reminiscent of the one signed by Flozell Adams in 2010.
