Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early candidates in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The previous coach was dismissed on Sunday following the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight season.
Furthermore both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the club - are among the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.
The manager is presently at another club, which would pose a potential hurdle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.
However the former Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading candidate for the position.
The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club directors as they start the search of hiring a new head coach.
O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a shock appointment given he was released by the club in the previous winter.
The former West Ham player is out of work meaning Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
