they stay a free agent
When a team has a player whose contract has expired, he goes into free agency. This is when teams submit offers to players whose contracts have expired from other teams.
Free agency is when a team releases a player because of Salary Cap issues, a declining ability to play the game well, or maybe just because the player is money hungry and the two parties couldn't come up with a deal. In free agency teams will get the opportunity (if not un-restricted) to place a bid on that specific player.

Free agency is the term used for players who are not under contract to a specific team. A player becomes a 'free agent' when his contract expires. The player is then able to negotiate a new contract with any team in the league.
A player can be on a farm team if he is drafted or signed; via free agency; or demoted if he is already in the majors.
When his contract expires usually after the world series.
Free agency was 'invented' in MLB by a independent arbitrator in December, 1975.

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.
