The Broncos could have made a play for Barnidge as he is head and shoulders above the current TEs on the roster, but I suspect they have already drawn up a 2017 playbook that minimizes the contributions expected from the TE position.  As for Decker, if he can overcome his 2016 injuries he will be a productive player for someone - but his $7-$8 million cap hit is something the Broncos likely cannot afford.
