Yes, a number of famous players have done so (or tried to do so). The most famous case I can recollect was Eric Dickerson negotiating with the Indianapolis Colts for himself.
NFL players who are cut and can negotiate with any team. Most players that are cut will try to get on any team as soon as they can.
The player becomes a free agent and is able to negotiate with any team in the NFL about a contract.
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.
You must be an underclassmen who cannot return to their college but did not apply for early entry into the NFL prior to the previous draft. These types of players can apply for the supplemental draft.
Lots of NFL players make the NFL right out of High School.
An 'undrafted free agent' is a player, usually fresh out of college, that was not selected in the NFL draft held every April. This player does not have his rights held by any team, therefore, he is a free agent and free to negotiate with all teams.
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.
An NFL free agent is a player in the National Football League in America that is not contracted to any team and is available to sign with any team. NFL free agents are football players.
You have two different terms there. 1) Restricted Free Agent - The NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) allows NFL players to negotiate freely with other NFL teams once their contracts run out. These are UNRESTRICTED Free Agents. However, the CBA also specifies that players with fewer than four years of NFL experience will instead be 'restricted'. The team that owns his rights may make a contract offer based on how valuable it perceives him to be. The player may then negotiate with other teams, and even sign the player, but if they do, they will surrender a number of draft choices based on how large an offer was initially extended to the player. 2) Salary Cap - The NFL (and some other sports) has a CBA that, in order to control costs, avoid financial instability, and ensure small market competitiveness, specifies that a certain percentage of revenues must spent on player salaries. The NFL cap specifies both a minimum AND maximum percentage of team revenue to go to player salaries.
