Sticky brakes??

Last couple of times I drove my truck it just didn't "feel right". The engine seemed to be running hotter than usual and just seemed to struggle. Pulling into the garage I noticed an odd smell that appeared to be coming from the brakes. When I jacked it up the I could turn it by hand but it would not spin freely. Took the wheel off & looks like the rotor shows signs of excessive heat so my guess is the caliper pistons aren't fully releasing. ( kinda hard to tell from his pic) Besides replacing them, any other possible solutions? From what I've been able to determine, these are s10 calipers.
