jyles signed as a free agent with the winnipeg blue bombers on february 23, 2010, joining his former saskatchewan offensive co-ordinator, paul lapolice, who had been hired as the blue bombers' head coach. it was initially thought that jyles would have an excellent chance to be the starting quarterback for the team after they had released incumbent michael bishop, but two months later, the team announced that they had signed buck pierce, meaning jyles would be relegated to backup duty.
