About getting contract free (7)
I believe the answer is:
release
'free' is the definition.
(to release someone is to free them)
'about getting contract' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'contract' becomes 'lease' (leasing is a kind of contracting).
're'+'lease'='RELEASE'
(Other definitions for release that I've seen before include "put out" , "press announcement" , "Let go" , "Liberate" , "Prisoner eagerly awaits this" .)
