Chicago Bears
Collins was signed by the Chicago Bears to a one-year deal for the 2010 season. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Collins made the roster as the second-string quarterback after Jay Cutler and ahead of Caleb Hanie. Collins played for the Bears in the fourth game of the season, beginning the second half of the Week 4 matchup against the New York Giants when starter Jay Cutler suffered a concussion after getting sacked for the ninth time in the first half. Collins finished that game 4 for 11 for 36 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. The Bears lost 17–3, their first loss of the season, falling to 3-1. He would fill in for Cutler in Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers. In that start, Collins completed six of 16 passes for 32 yards, threw four interceptions and had a quarterback rating of 6.2. He was relieved at the end of the third quarter by Caleb Hanie. The Bears won 23–6. Collins also saw limited action in the Bears' 21-14 NFC Championship game loss to the Packers, relieving for the injured Jay Cutler in the third quarter before being replaced again by Hanie after suffering a shoulder injury. This turned out to be the final game of his career.
