I'm not even saying there is anything wrong with that, either.
The last time this team won a playoff game was 1994 and the last big time free agency signing was.........well..........hmmmmmmm
Until the management of this team shows a willingness to push this team to the next level, do they really deserve the benefit of the doubt?
After long enough of this franchise, it gets kinda hard to get excited about things you KNOW aren't gonna happen because they NEVER do.
First round quarterbacks and acquiring blue chip players through all methods are two things this team has ALWAYS had "difficulty" doing.
Difficulty = unwillingness to take the necessary steps

I despise this organization but I'm willing to view each decision in a vacuum.
On its face, I like this move. If the guy quits again, he won't be able to drive a team bus.
I think we'll get the 2010 Hillis, or at least a reasonable facsimile. And at is what is most likely to be a very short term, very reasonable contract - why not? You can still draft a guy like David Wilson or Lamar Miller as Charles insurance or just a developmental back.
A cheap Hillis on a short term deal simply presents very little actual risk; only perceived risk which is easily excised if planned for.
