Vikings' next option is back to George
 
ESPN.com news services

 Now that Dan Marino has spurned the Minnesota Vikings' offer to be their starting quarterback, the team's preference is to re-sign Jeff George to a one-year contract, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Monday.

Marino announced his decision to retire after 17 seasons on Monday.

Mortensen reported that if George insists on having longer-term contract with the Vikings, the team will turn to Randall Cunningham. But in the case of Cunningham, Mortensen said the salary-cap strapped Vikings still are insisting that Cunninghamn take a pay cut.
