0:00.0	Russell Wilson wants to come back.
0:10.0	Justin Fields wants to come back.
0:13.0	If you were a free agent quarterback in the NFL, you'd want to be here too.
0:19.0	Good afternoon to you.
0:20.0	Good Wednesday afternoon. I'm
0:22.1	Dan Kovachievich of DK Pittsburgh Sports. This is the new double shot show. Happy to have you here.
