Edwards along with Gary O'Neil are two of the early names under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The previous coach was dismissed on the weekend following the squad's 10-match winless start to the top-flight campaign.
Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - each of whom have previous associations to the club - are part of the names to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.
Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.
Nevertheless the former Luton manager - who played over a century of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a leading candidate for the position.
The mid-career manager is said to have support from the Wolves board as they start the process of appointing a fresh manager.
Gary O'Neil is also emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by the club in December last year.
The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not need to provide any buyout fee.
