Edwards and O'Neil represent the early names in the frame to replace the former manager as head coach of Wolves.
Pereira was dismissed on the weekend after the squad's 10-match winless beginning to the top-flight season.
And both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the team - are part of the options to be evaluated by the Wolves ownership.
Edwards is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible hurdle to his appointment at Molineux.
However the ex- Luton Town manager - who made over a century of games for Wolves during his playing career - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.
The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the Wolves directors as they start the search of appointing a new head coach.
Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a shock choice considering he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.
The ex- West Ham player is currently unemployed which means Wolves would not need to pay any compensation.
