YES!!!
Of course they are. Especially Pro Bowl Punters like you!!!
Punters determine field position if a punter punts 60 yards instead of 50 that could determine if a team gets a touchdown, fielgoal, or has to punt themselves!
They are deffenitely underpaid and deserve more respect!
P.S. what was up with that first guy? No punter gets 8 million a year, must all star quarterbacks don't even get that much!

I actully think they are! I mean it is pretty hard to punt a ball perfectly inside the 20 yard line and it is very hard to punt 60-70 yards which punters do. I think kickers are underpaid as well except Adam Vinetaeri.

nope. it is supply and demand.
Punters have a very hard job, and kicking it perfectly is VERY tough, but punters are easily replaced. there are much more than 32+ good punters out there. so if one punter gets expensive, incomes a new one. so in order to keep a job, the punter keeps his salary down.
They SHOULD get paid more, but they won't

no, they play a reletively small part of the team and are easily replaceable. there are tons of equally good punters in the ncaa that wan't to play. if someone demands a new contract, they can pick up someone equally good in free agency or the draft.
check out the seahawks.

I wouldn't think so. The best of the best pull down slightly over a million dollars a year!

no every player on an nfl team is paid the same amount of money regaurless if they play or not. They get $500,000 per game and 8 mill per season.
