Essendon has four players eligible for free agency in 2014 with Heath Hocking, Dustin Fletcher, Leroy Jetta and Jason Winderlich all meeting the set criteria.

Hocking falls under the category of a restricted free agent with the remaining three all being eligible as unrestricted free agents.

An unrestricted free agent may move to the club of his choice. If an unrestricted free agent does not wish to remain with his original club he must enter the draft or seek a trade.

An offer to a restricted free agent may be matched by his club, which has the right of first refusal of his services.
