Greer, 33, retired from a nine-year career in the National Lacrosse League on June 28, 2018. In 133 regular season appearances, Greer totaled 440 points.

Greer is currently a resident of Frisco, Texas.

"Zack has expressed interest in returning to the NLL this season but is uncertain about his availability due to work.," said Mammoth Assistant General Manager Brad Self. “With the timing of Zack’s decision to explore coming out of retirement, the best option for the Mammoth was to franchise him. We now have time to determine what is best for Zack and the Colorado Mammoth moving forward.”
