I would first test if it is in fact the caliper. Apply the brakes to get it stuck and release the bleeder. If it releases then its not the caliper. Also check the sliders as that is most likely the culprit. If it is the caliper piston take it apart pull out the piston clean it all up and put it back together again. Its not hard to do. If it has damaged seals and you cant figure out replacements then consider new options.

I agree with this version and would add that you should try exercising the calipers pistons which is simple to do. You can buy a simple and cheap tool to push the pistons back into the caliper with the pads removed. Then replace pads and push the pedal to move the pistons back out. I do this on my car every winter and it takes just over an hour to do all four. It keeps the pistons working freely and helps negate dragging pistons caused by lack of use.
