A sports agent negotiates employment for an athlete. In return, the sports agent will generally get 4-10% of the athlete's playing contract and 10-20% of the athlete's endorsement contract. Although, in the NFL, the agent is not allowed to get more than 3% of the athlete's contract, and not more than 4% in the NBA.

The term 'free agent' refers to someone who is not employed or contracted to a specific business or firm, but works for whomever they choose on a short term basis.
