The Browns have discussed signing free agent running back
Rice was released last year, after surveillance video of him striking his then fiancee in an elevator was released.
Browns running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery and Pettine were both assistant coaches with Baltimore when Rice entered the league in 2008.
"Of course it's a natural question here because of Wilbert, and because I was with Ray when he was a Ravens rookie and know a lot of people in Baltimore," Pettine said. "Obviously Wilbert was his position coach for Ray’s first six years in the league. I'm not going to say it didn't come up in discussion, but at this point we're not there yet."
