Gets cash for the wild deer over the river (7)

I believe the answer is:

redeems

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gets cash for' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'wild deer over the river' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'over' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go over others).
'the river' becomes 'ems' (I've seen this before).
'deer' anagrammed gives 'rede'.
'rede'+'ems'='REDEEMS'

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for redeems that I've seen before include "Buys back" , "Pays off loans" .)
