MINNEAPOLIS -- Jeff George will visit Winter Park this weekend to meet with the Minnesota Vikings.

George, who led the Vikings to the playoffs in 1999 but was unable to come to a contract agreement the following offseason, will meet with coaches about the backup quarterback position, the Star Tribune reported on its Web site Friday night.

George confirmed to ESPN.com that he will fly to Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon for a visit that is expected to last through Monday afternoon.

"I'm excited about seeing (head coach) Mike Tice again," said George. "He was the (offensive) line coach when I was there before and he's a good guy. At this point in my career, I can accept being a backup, because having a chance to win a Super Bowl is a lot more important to me than any individual stuff. That's my goal, to be on a Super Bowl team, whatever my role."

The veteran quarterback said that, while he definitely wants to play again in the league, he will carefully evaluate the playoff potential of any team that shows interest in him. He said there was "a chance" he could return to the Seattle Seahawks in 2003 and noted that coach Mike Holmgren has stayed in contact. George was on the Seattle roster for the second half of the 2002 season, signed after Trent Dilfer suffered a ruptured Achilles, but saw no game action.

The Vikings traded quarterback Todd Bouman to the New Orleans Saints on Thursday for a sixth-round draft pick.

George, 35, spent the 2000 season and part of 2001 with Washington before being released. George fired agent Leigh Steinberg and is now represented by Tom Condon and Kendall Kremer of the IMG agency.

While playing with the Vikings in 1999, George threw for 2,816 yards and 23 touchdowns in 10 starts. He completed 58.1 percent of his passes and threw 12 interceptions.
