It could be a couple things. It sounds like it is sticking on. Safely lift the tire off the ground and spin the tire. Have a helper hit the brakes to stop the wheel. When the brake is released, the wheel should turn again. If it doesn't, either you have a sticking caliper or a worn brake hose. To check which one it is, after the brake is stuck, open the bleeder to see if that releases the pressure and allows the tire to spin again. If it does, then my guess is the brake hose. If it still doesn't release, then the caliper is suspect.
