Edwards and Gary O'Neil represent the initial candidates in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolves.
The previous coach was sacked on Sunday after the team's ten-game winless start to the Premier League campaign.
And both candidates - both of who have historic associations to the team - are among the names to be considered by the Wolves ownership.
Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.
Nevertheless the ex- Luton manager - who played more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the position.
The mid-career manager is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they start the search of appointing a fresh manager.
O'Neil is additionally appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising appointment considering he was released by Wolves in the previous winter.
The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed which means the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
