In 1982 by C Hilton, it is mentioned that one magazine had 8 drivers linked to Villeneuve’s empty seat, excluding Tambay.
Trying to think who those 8 could be. I guess Andretti would have be one, as he did later take Pironi’s seat of course and Jonesy too, as he was original choice for that seat
Others I’ve heard through various sources linked that season are Alboreto, Warwick, Lammers, Keegan and Johansson. That makes 7, although it might not have been all those drivers that were linked
