The season is already over for these four NFL teams after Week 5, you can delete them now

The Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans and Los Angeles Chargers are officially done, but several struggling NFL teams barely escaped.

Five weeks into the NFL season, we can officially write off four teams. By "writing off" we mean teams that aren't getting anywhere. Their fans should be more concerned about the draft situation than anything their team is doing this season.

We understand how annoying it is to give up a season before mid-October. However, this is true for certain franchises.

Let's start with two teams that aren't tanking per se, but aren't exactly built to compete this season. The Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals are about as bad as expected, despite the latter getting a win early in the season.

On the positive side, both teams have accumulated young talent while positioning themselves for high draft picks. Miami's rookie class is impressive, including Kadin Proctor, Chris Johnson, Jacob Rodriguez, Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell. Arizona has the best tight end in football in Terry McBride, while Jeremiah Love, albeit injured, has a generational upside.

Unfortunately, the 2027 quarterback class isn't looking as promising as projected. Arch Manning, to this point, is hardly what prospect analysts predicted he would be.

Elsewhere, the Tennessee Titans might be worse than the Dolphins and Cardinals. This is especially concerning because Tennessee actively tried to improve its roster and coaching staff in the offseason.

In Week 5, the Titans rank last in the NFL in both scoring and total offense, averaging just 11.6 points and 246.4 yards per game.

Don't expect the winless Titans to win many games this season.

After five weeks, we can also eliminate the Los Angeles Chargers, who entered the season with roughly the same Super Bowl odds as the Kansas City Chiefs. A team coached by Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Justin Herbert shouldn't be this weak. And yet, they are.

At 0-5, with games remaining against the Rams, Ravens, Chiefs twice, 49ers and Patriots, wins remaining on the schedule are hard to come by.

A midseason departure with offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel now seems more likely than a late-season push toward the playoffs. The Chargers' season is over, at least in terms of meaningful aspirations.

Based on their play, the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers should join the list. Both teams have won just one game and are lacking on both sides of the ball. Despite relatively high expectations entering the season, the Saints have a minus-33 point differential.

Neither team has much of a role in the postseason, if they get there at all. However, both remain just one game behind first place in the all-time NFC South.

Likewise, the 1-3-1 Washington Chiefs remain viable playoff threats largely due to the poor state of the rest of the NFC East.

Granted, it's hard to take seriously a team that did it in overtime on Sunday

The 2-3 New York Jets are the last team worth discussing. As WWE commentator Michael Cole told OutKick last week, the Jets are under-coached and overmatched in the trenches. Chances are, they're probably a bottom 10 team in the NFL again.

But we can't in good faith write off a team that's just one game behind the Patriots and the Bills, who play the Rams Monday night in the AFC East.

We suspect the Jets will join the list by the end of October. For now, though, they've played well enough — including competitive games against the Lions and Packers — to keep the lights on for a few more weeks.

So, going into Week 5, the Dolphins, Cardinals, Titans, and Chargers are the only four teams we've officially finished the "season" with.

The rest of the fans should at least have hope, if only for a little while.
