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.
A player can be a free agent at anytime in the NFL. When a players contract is up and the team he plays for does not sign him, he will become a free agent.
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.
Scott Podsednik is currently a free agent baseball player who was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in 2001. In 2004 he had 70 stolen bases and in 2005 he helped the Chicago White Sox win the World Series.
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)

Make sure that they are a free agent, then sign them as a free agent.
That player becomes a free agent ... 'non tendered' basically means a player's contract has run out and he was not offered a contract from the team he last played for so he becomes a free agent, eligible to negotiate a contract with any of the MLB teams.
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.
The player becomes a member of the team he accepted. As a free agent he can decline or accept whatever offer he wants.
