It took six years of stellar service and two Pro Bowl appearances, but Bills punter Brian Moorman is finally getting his due. The former NFL Europe standout signed a three-year contract extension with the Bills through 2012 that will make him the highest paid punter in the NFL."This contract reflects what Brian has done on the field and where he compared in a rising punter market," Moorman's agent, Paul Sheehy said. "It has been a few months in the works. We appreciate the Bills' willingness to do this since he had three years left on that contract. Without [Bills Vice President of Football Administration and contract negotiator] Jim Overdorf's time and creativity it wouldn't have happened."Moorman was second in the NFL last season with a 39.2 net average per punt and was also ranked second with 33 punts downed inside the 20 yard line.
In addition to his on the field work, Moorman is very well respected for his contributions made off of the field. He is the co-founder of the Punt Foundation, which was created to help children in Western New York that are battling cancer or facing other life threatening illnesses.
