free agent

noun free agents

A professional athlete who is free to play for or sign a contract to play for any team. Or, if that’s too cringe, you can put it like The Wall Street Journal did at the end of last month: “With this spending bonanza and frenzy of movement, AI geeks are being treated more like NBA free agents.”
A person who acts freely, or without constraint to a higher power. Nevertheless, in despite of the shackles by which he is bound, it is pretended he is a free agent, or that independent of the causes by which he is moved, he determines his own will; regulates his own condition.
