Free Agent

A free agent, in sports, is a player who is not under contract, and is free to negotiate and sign with any professional team. Often, a player will become a free agent when his/her contract has elapsed, and the team that the player had been part of can neither afford the player, nor has any room on the roster. Free agents can command quite a lot of money, depending on their status within the league.
