In all probability ... most all players have agents to do their contract negotiations for them.

A 'free agent' is a player that is not under contract and is free to negotiate with any team to secure a contract. The term has nothing to do with whether or not a player has an agent.

Does a player have to enter the NFL draft?

Yes. When a player is drafted during the NFL draft the team that drafted them owns the signing rights. So, if the player refuses to play they will have to wait a year and then get signed as a free agent. If that team doesn't do anything with the signing rights to the player they will not play in the NFL that year. If a player is not drafted they become an 'undrafted free agent' and are immediately available to be picked up by any team.

What does it mean when an NFL team puts a first round tender on a player?

It means that a team has placed the price of a 1st round draft pick on a restricted free agent. If a team wants to sign a restricted free agent with 1st round tender then it will have to give the player's current team a first round pick to do so. Restricted free agents can be made offers by any team to sign. If the player's current team fails to at least match the offer then the player is free to go to a the new team. If 1st, 3rd, or 5th round tender was placed on the player then the new team will pay the old team for signing the player with the respective draft pick. (bbethel1)

If a baseball player under contract from one team becomes a free agent and goes to another team is the first team still obligated to pay is salary?

By definition, a free agent is a player who is not under contract to a team. Therefore, any player who is under contract cannot become a free agent until that contract expires. The situation in your question can never occur.AnswerWell once you are a free agent your previous team has no financial responsibilities anymore. However the new team that the players signs with, depending on the caliber of the player, will be obligated to give up "compensation draft picks" to the previous team. But if you mean a player under contract gets released and becomes a free agent, that does not apply.
