Transplant now or wait (California bay area)

My seedlings are getting quite big. I made the mistake (I think) of putting them in 4" newspaper pots. Now one of the tomato plants is looking unhappy and the other dozen are very health. But all of them have roots coming out the sides of the newspaper pot! I did not expect that. Now I am worried as I was planning on removing the newspaper before transplanting.

Should I still remove the newspaper?

Should I transplant now before more roots grow outside or through the pot (it is average of 44' at night and 75' in the daytime)?

thanks
