0 a professional sports player who does not have a contract with any particular team --
1 someone who can decide for themselves what they do, for example, a worker who can easily choose who to work for: --
Now at the end of a one-year contract, he is effectively a free agent from tomorrow.
He is a free agent in the matter.
It is advice which, no doubt, would have been given publicly if it had remained a free agent.
The committee wanted to pay and would have done so if it had been a free agent at that time.
It will be a free agent in every other sense.
It will be a free agent in the same way as local authorities are free to decide their own rents at present.
But, of course, the landlord is not a free agent.
A local authority is not a free agent in this respect.
He is a free agent; the landowner is not.
