Might The Eagles Regret Letting Stallworth Go To The Pats?

Last week Donte Stallworth, who had only a one year deal with the Eagles, signed with the New England Patriots.  This "Eagles Chick" was really hoping he'd stick around in Philly and not just because he wore my own lucky number "18", but because he was a definitely a threat on the field that led opposing team defenses wondering how to deal with when he hooked up with Donovan McNabb.

Stallworth led the league in yard per reception in 2006.  That includes passes from both McNabb and Garcia, but it was with McNabb that Stallworth really had a "rhythm" with.  Granted, recently signed Kevin Curtis, is nothing to sneeze at, but is this a deal that we Philly fans are going to be groaning about come post season in January 2008?

Stallworth has a deal from the Pats that has bonuses built in that are based on his performance.  If he finds that same rhythm he had with McNabb, with Pat's QB Tom Brady, he'll hit those bonuses without a problem.  It will definitely make all of us fans wonder, why our team couldn't have worked out the deal instead.
