I'm trying to look at the upcoming free agency list to see who will probably be invited. Three contenders off the top of my head:
Greg Hardy - Coming off a year where he played only one game due to suspension. His trial is set for some time next week so the verdict will have a huge impact on his payday or if a team will sign him at all since he will probably be suspended 6 games next year if found guilty. It would take a long time for a team to come around to signing him, so he would probably be invited to the combine to show he has still kept himself in shape.
Tim Tebow - I would be surprised if he wasn't invited. I think the NFL will try their best to not turn this into a joke, which is why guys who in no way will be signed like Owens and Ochocinco won't be invited, but they will want some star power and Tebow is one of the most popular athletes you will find.
Kerry Rhodes - No idea if he is retired or not. Only 32 years old. Some thought he was/is being blacklisted because he is gay.
I expect a lot of guys who have been out of the league for awhile or are old with questions about their physical condition (Michael Roos for example) to show up.
