Edwards together with O'Neil each possess past links with the club
Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early candidates in the frame to replace Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The previous coach was sacked on Sunday after the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight season.
And both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are among the names to be considered by the Wolves leadership.
Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a possible obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.
However the former Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of games for the club during his time as a player - is considered a strong candidate for the vacancy.
The 42-year-old is said to have support from the club directors as they begin the process of hiring a new head coach.
Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising choice given he was released by the club in the previous winter.
The ex- West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
