For the drama-filled Steelers, things are just heating up, and this is where the daily links article comes in. You might have missed some key news, and we fill you in and give you the latest, and sometimes greatest, news surrounding the Steelers.Today in the Black-and-gold links article we take a look at whether or not giving Ben Roethlisberger an extension, which has been reported by multiple sources, is considered a no-brainer decision. Sure, on the surface it makes sense, but does it hold water when you look deeper? Let’s take a look...Let’s get to the news:Extending Roethlisberger easiest call in Steelers’ loaded offseasonBy: Jeremy Fowler, ESPNFor all his breathtaking playmaking and marketability and record-breaking performances, Antonio Brown was never going to win a power struggle in Pittsburgh.Not with a franchise quarterback in a quarterback-centric league.That’s why news of the Pittsburgh Steelers planning to restructure and extend Ben Roethlisberger’s contract, via a report by ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, is a bigger move than any trade or a Le’Veon Bell transition tag that could be applied in the next three months.Big Ben’s presence gives stability to a team that values it. He threw for a league-leading 5,129 yards at age 36. It’s a pretty easy call to take the final year remaining on his deal and add two years to it, falling in line with a quarterback market paying at least $25-30 million annually for top-shelf guys.There’s still much to sort out with Brown, which affects Roethlisberger, the offense and the entire organization.As Brown left the team before Week 17 and raised questions about his future in Pittsburgh , multiple reports hint at growing tension between Brown and Roethlisberger.NFL Network analyst James Jones, a former Green Bay Packers receiver, said he heard from players that Roethlisberger chided Brown in meetings, saying he didn’t have to throw him the ball, and called for Brown to get off the field after running the wrong route.The two have had their love-hate moments, to be sure. Clearly something went down last week, many details of which you can read here.But one veteran player who witnessed the whole incident last week said Roethlisberger didn’t say any of those lines.And one reality was pointed out to me by several current and ex-Steelers: You don’t record six straight 100-catch seasons together without trust.
