Bears Sign Collins As Back-Up QB (For Now)

After being initially rejected by veteran QB Todd Collins, the Bears have managed to land the quarterback with a one-year deal today. With only rookie Dan LeFevour available to back-up starter Jay Cutler after an injury to Caleb Hanie the Bears were in desperate need of a solid number two. Collins rebuffed the first Bears offer because of lack of guaranteed money but this time around, the Bears apparently ponied up enough cash to lure Collins, who could make $1 million if he makes the Bears' full time squad for the 2010 season.
