They can’t all win the Super Bowl. These five teams need to be looking to rebuild for the NFL 2016 season.

All NFL teams look to win as many games as possible. That being said, it is probably better for some teams without a championship hope to lose more than most, instead of just being average. These teams would be wise to start a deep rebuild during the NFL 2016 season.

Led by new front office and coaching staff, the Cleveland Browns are the one team in the league who are clearly undergoing a deep rebuilding process. They built their team around young players and future draft capital, knowing that they would not be Super Bowl contenders in the 2016 NFL season.

This was a smart move by Cleveland. Instead of trying their best to go 7-9 or 8-8, the Browns are better off letting the bottom drop out of this team. They need more young, impact players, and this complete rebuild is the best way to make that happen.

In my eyes, other NFL teams should be following suit and would be wise to start doing so sooner rather than later. In-season trading is rare in the NFL, but it could be a great opportunity for these franchises to kick-start a much-needed rebuild.

Let’s take a look at these five franchises who would be wise to start a rebuild.
