The Chris Williams saga is heading to court. On Thursday, the CFL Players Association announced its applying for a judicial review of an arbitrators decision that the Hamilton Tiger-Cats receivers contract was binding despite being negotiated by an unregistered agent. Williams, the CFLs top special-teams player last year, went to arbitration requesting to be released from the final year of his deal with Hamilton reportedly so he could pursue NFL offers. On June 5, arbitrator E.E. Palmer ruled the Ticats violated the CFLs collective bargaining agreement with the players union by negotiating with an unregistered agent. However, Palmer said the penalty for that was a fine and not the termination of the contract. Despite the arbitrators decision, Williams hasnt reported to the Ticats this season. The CFLPA said in a statement it believes any club negotiating with an unregistered agent is at an advantage in contract talks. The CFLPA added a judicial review is required to provide "legal clarity" prior to heading into upcoming contract talks with the league on a new collective bargaining agreement. The present deal between the CFL and CFLPA is scheduled to end prior to the start of next season. Williams signed a deal with Hamilton in 2011 that was negotiated by an agent not registered with the CFL Players Association. Williams reportedly contends he wasnt made fully aware of the conditions pertaining to his rookie contract and that Hamilton didnt offer him the one-year plus an option deal but rather just the two-year plus an option. "In negotiating a players rookie contract it is especially critical that CFL clubs ensure that they are dealing with a registered agent as required by the CBA to ensure that the players rights are protected and that a final contract is in the players best interests," the CFLPA said in a statement. "An agent who is registered with the CFLPA must have a solid understanding of the CBA, the CFL standard player contract, and CFL salaries. "In order to be a registered agent, the individual must provide evidence of that knowledge by successfully completing a CFLPA administered test. This knowledge allows the agent to provide appropriate guidance to CFL players as they negotiate with respective CFL clubs." The CFLPA added it has no further comment regarding the Williams case. A CFL spokesman requesting anonymity said the league supports the Ticats and the decision of the arbitrator, but added it would have no further comment regarding the Williams case. In a statement, the Ticats expressed their disappointment with the situation. "Our collective bargaining agreement with the CFLPA agrees that matters of disagreement be decided by binding arbitration," the CFL club said. "While we are disappointed to read of the unwillingness to accept arbitrator Palmers binding decision, we respect their right to use any and all legal options available to them. "We have made a number of attempts to resolve the matter with Chris and his agent but unfortunately he has chosen not to return to play for Hamilton and honour the remaining year of his contract. Since Chris and the CFLPA have now decided to pursue a judicial review of the arbitrators decision, we have no choice but to let this matter be decided by the court." According to a CFL source, Williams was scheduled to earn a 2013 base salary of $48,000. That pales in comparison to both the NFLs minimum salary, which is US$405,000 this year, or the roughly $90,000 players south of the border can earn annually on the practice roster. Williams had a Ticats-record 17 TDs last season, including a CFL-record six on kick returns. The five-foot-eight, 175-pound Williams was named the CFLs top rookie in 2011 after registering 70 receptions for 1,064 yards and six TDs. He also had 12 kickoff returns for 252 yards and a touchdown while returning 12 punts for 81 yards. Williams was even better last season, with 83 catches for 1,298 yards and 11 TDs. He also led the CFL in punt returns with 78 for 1,117 yards and five touchdowns while adding five missed field goal returns for 256 yards and a TD. Williams played his college football at New Mexico State and joined the NFLs Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2009 but was released with an injury settlement prior to the start of the season. He signed with the Cleveland Browns later in the year and spent time on the practice roster before being let go.

Players are listed in the order they made the team.RORY MCILROYAge: 27.Country: Northern Ireland.Ryder Cup record (3 teams): 6-4-4.World ranking: 3.Career victories: 20.Majors: U.S. Open (2011), British Open (2014), PGA Championship (2012, 2014).2016 victories: Irish Open, Deutsche Bank Championship.Ryder Cup partners: Graeme McDowell, Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia.Outlook: McIlroy showed a spark by winning the Deutsche Bank Championship with improved putting, though it deserted him the following week. The putter has come under serious scrutiny this year, when the four-time major champion failed to contend in any major and missed the cut in two of them. He is unbeaten in three singles matches at the Ryder Cup.---DANNY WILLETTAge: 28.Country: England.Ryder Cup record (rookie): 0-0-0.World ranking: 10.Career victories: 5.Majors: Masters (2016).2016 victories: Omega Dubai Desert Classic, Masters.Ryder Cup partners: None.Outlook: One of six rookies, Willett is the only one of them with a major.

However, that was only his second top 10 since he won the Masters.---HENRIK STENSONAge: 40.Country: Sweden.Ryder Cup record (2 teams): 5-4-2.World ranking: 5.Career victories: 18.Majors: British Open (2016).2016 victories: BMW International Open, British Open.Ryder Cup partners: Justin Rose, Paul Casey, Oliver Wilson, Robert Karlsson.Outlook: Stenson might be Europes most reliable player, though he is coping with a slight tear of the meniscus in his right knee. He withdrew after one round at The Barclays and sat out the BMW Championship to rest. He turned in the years best performance at Royal Troon, where his 264 set a major championship record.

He figures to be the threat he always has been in the Ryder Cup, particularly with his driving and iron play.---RAFA CABRERA BELLOAge: 32.Country: Spain.Ryder Cup record (rookie): 0-0-0.World ranking: 29.Career victories: 4.Majors: None.2016 victories: None.Ryder Cup partners: None.Outlook: The Spaniards last victory was more than four years ago, but he has been steady all year.

He only has one victory this year, but it was memorable -- an Olympic gold medal after going head-to-head with Stenson. Putting is the only unreliable part of his game.---ANDY SULLIVANAge: 30.Country: England.Ryder Cup record (rookie): 0-0-0.World ranking: 48.Career victories: 3.Majors: None.2016 victories: None.Ryder Cup partners: None.Outlook: Sullivan had three victories last year, none this year.

He has 23 points, fifth all-time in the Ryder Cup and with a chance to break Nick Faldos record of 25 points. This is his third time, and second in a row, that he has needed a captains pick. He had the same chance as Willett to win the Masters and tied for second.---MARTIN KAYMERAge: 31.Country: Germany.Ryder Cup record (3 teams): 4-3-3.World ranking: 52.Career victories: 15.Majors: U.S. Open (2014), PGA Championship (2010).2016 victories: None.Ryder Cup partners: Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose, Thomas Bjorn.Outlook: Kaymer has something special happen in even-numbered years, so hes still waiting. He won the PGA Championship in 2010, holed the clinching putt at the 2012 Ryder Cup in 2012 and won the U.S. Open in 2014.

Pieters won the NCAA title at Riviera when he played at Illinois. Much like countryman Nicolas Colsaerts, he is blessed with enormous power. ' ' '
