Joe had a simple question for Mike Evans yesterday: Would you become a selfish, diva-like, grudge-holding receiver if the Bucs drafted a receiver in the first round or paid a guy like DeSean Jackson a boatload of cash in free agency?

Yes, Joe asked Evans that yesterday at NFC Pro Bowl practice. However, Joe also explained that many fans and some media believe Evans might have that kind of negative attitude if the Bucs didn’t give him a new contract before drafting or signing a stud.

Evans was in disbelief.

“Somebody thinks that about me, that I might act like a diva? People don’t know nothing then.” Evans said. “I don’t care what anyone says. I want the best receiver that helps us win. I don’t care who it is or what he’s paid. “Another great receiver on the team gets me more chances. If you know football, then you understand that. I don’t know how people think I would be a diva. That’s crazy right there. “If we brought in a top receiver, I’d do what [Vincent Jackson] did. He coached me up, helped me, made the transition easier, like he’s done for a lot of guys. That’s what I’d do.”

Joe promised Evans that his attitude and mindset would be shared to set fans straight.

So for those thinking Evans wouldn’t like another top receiver on his turf: Joe advises you find a new song to sing.
