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.

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.
