Free agency
Free agent
In
professional sports, a free agent is a team player whose contract with a team has expired, and the player is able to sign a contract with another team. The term came into wide use in North America after
sports leagues stopped using a "
reserve clause" after much acrimonious collective bargaining, which provided a repetitive option for the club to renew the contract for one more year, but did not allow the player to terminate the relationship with the team. The result of the reserve clause was abusive from the player standpoint so that a player was essentially property of the team. Once in free agency, a player is in a "pool" of free agents, from which teams can sign players who are able to drive hard bargains in the employment market place since the owners now must compete for their talents.

Agent libre
Un agent libre, dans les
sports professionnels, est un joueur d'équipe dont le contrat avec son équipe a expiré, et le joueur peut signer un contrat avec une autre équipe. Le terme est commun en
Amérique du Nord, où le phénomène existe dans les quatre ligues majeures : la
NFL, la
LMB, la
LNH et la
NBA. Le système de l'agence libre généralement n'existe pas dans des ligues sportive européennes, bien que la pratique des
transferts libres soit semblable.
