It's true Jarier did test for Williams alongside Rosberg prior to the 82. There were a few linked to the Williams for 82. Someone suggested to Frank they should go with Cheever. Frank did try to get Our Nige from Lotus, with Colin refused. They also tried to get Wattie.
Also when Reutemann retired, Rosberg suggested they replace him with Chico Serra
BTW Jarier did do a couple of races with Ligier in 77
