In his first season with the Tiger-Cats Collaros started in 13 of the 18 regular season games and helped lead the Tiger-Cats to a 9–9 record (first-place in the East division) and took them all the way to the 102nd Grey Cup game; in which they were defeated by the Calgary Stampeders for the second consecutive season. Collaros came into form in the 2015 CFL season leading the Tiger-Cats to a record of 8–3 to start the season. In a game against the Eskimos on September 19, 2015, Collaros left the game with a leg injury and did not return to the field. It was announced 2 days later that he had suffered a torn ACL and would miss the remainder of the 2015 season. At the time of the injury Collaros was leading the league in passing yards (3,376), touchdown passes (25) and passer rating (113.7).

This came after Collaros beat Connecticut 48 to 45. Collaros amassed significant numbers in four starts, including the second half of USF’s game and several “cameo appearances”.

Collaros was traded to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, on the CFL’s 2019 trade deadline day, Oct 9, 2019, along with an exchange of draft picks in the 2020 CFL Draft. The Bombers had lost starting quarterback Matt Nichols to a season ending injury earlier in the season and the Bombers had lost four of their last five games with Chris Streveler under centre. Prior to the last game of the regular season, Collaros started taking first-team reps in practice for the Bombers, and was announced as the starting quarterback on October 24, 2019, taking over for an injured Streveler. Collaros threw his first passes of the year to count (his lone attempt for the Roughriders was wiped out due to a defensive penalty) and lead the Blue Bombers to a victory in their season finale. Collaros formed a QB tandem with Streveler, where Streveler served primarily as a gritty run option. The two turned what had been a late season slump for the Bombers, into a post-season winning streak that saw Winnipeg defeat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 33-12 to win the 107th Grey Cup. Collaros’ Grey Cup victory was unique in that he beat Saskatchewan, the team he started the season with in the division finals and then beat Hamilton, who’s Simoni Lawrence had hit him in the head in Week 1, knocking him out of the season, but Collaros came back to beat both teams on the way to the championship. The media had frequently brought these circumstances up and Collaros did not answer them until the final media session after the Grey Cup saying “What are they calling it? The revenge tour? We finished it. It’s over. Last show tonight.” On January 27, 2020 Collaros and the Bombers agreed to a two-year contract extension, preventing him from becoming a free agent on February 11.
