Taylor said the club will hold a news conference on Monday but that a deal to sign Evans, 26, has not been completed.
"We've had a number of steps forward and a number of steps back. I'm not going to count my chickens," PFA chief Taylor told Radio 5 live's Sportsweek.
"If a club are looking to sign him they need to be 100% committed."
Taylor added that the club had to "give their reasons for signing him and get on with it, rather than inviting public debate".
Evans has been without a club since he left prison in October after serving half of a five-year term for raping a woman in a hotel in May 2011.
Sheffield United, Evans's former club, offered him use of their training facilities but then withdrew the offer after a backlash from supporters and club patrons, while 160,000 people signed a petition protesting against his return.
Hartlepool also ruled out signing Evans after manager Ronnie Moore had suggested he was considering a deal for the former Wales international.
Taylor said: "Evans is a footballer. He wants to return to society as a footballer, so he does need an employer to take him on."
Evans maintains his innocence, and an investigation into his conviction by the Criminal Cases Review Commission is under way.
