I know that the Steeler's are a bit more thrifty than Danny-boy, so I doubt they would want LaVar's huge contract, but still, any thoughts?

IMO, Pitt is an unlikely destination for Lavar. Their bread and butter has been finding diamonds in the rough, not bringing in high priced, big name free agents. It would go against their m.o. Also, the fact that a player is a local is at most a peripheral issue for an NFL team. I wouldn't say its completely irrelevant, but it's one of those things that's more interesting to fans than to teams.

The first questions that should be asked are - where is Lavar in terms of football? Is his knee likely to hold up over the next few years? Why is he overweight? Does he understand his responsibilities on the field? Is he done having long coversations with David Elfin? If the Redskins can get satisfactory answers to these questions, then I am all for a restructure. If not, a restructure will only dig us in deeper with our cap situation over the long term. If Greg Williams and Dale Lindsey do not think Lavar can be a big time contributor for say - the next three years, then they have an obligation to Dan Snyder, Joe Gibbs, Redskins fans, and to Lavar to bite the bullet and let him go. I'll say it again: it's not personal, it's business.
