Editor's Note: The Bears are releasing Jay Cutler, according to numerous reports.

CHICAGO — Asked where Jay Cutler should play next year, Bears fans said almost anywhere but Chicago.

Cutler injured his shoulder in Sunday's loss against the New York Giants and may be out for the season, according to the Tribune. Cutler's contract with the Bears lasts through 2020, but it's very possible he's seen his Bears career end as they could trade or release him after this season.

Bears fans don't want him back in Chicago next year as, in a completely unscientific poll, only 14 percent of more than 1,750 voters said he should remain in the Windy City. Other choices in the poll included Cleveland (39 percent of the vote), which has had an endless parade of clown car quarterbacks lately; Jacksonville (9 percent), which looks like it's had a swing and a miss with No. 1 overall pick Blake Bortles; and Other (38 percent), which included a host of answers.

Those responses included space locales like "Mars"; "Pluto"; "The Moon"; places that don't have NFL teams like "Montreal"; and "Anywhere that plays the Bears - we could use a win." One person put "Hell."

If it's the end of Cutler's time in Chicago, which has seen him go 51-51 in the regular season with just one playoff victory, it sounds like most Bears fans won't be sad to see him leave.
