A casual glance at the reports created the impression that Greer will get $7.6 million per year on the three-year deal. The truth, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, is that Greer’s new contract carries $15.6 million in new money.

Greer already was due to earn a base salary of $5.4 million in 2012. That’s a four-year total of $21 million. The other $2 million likely comes from incentives or other payments that may or may not realistically be earned.
