This is actually a great point. Green Bay probably would have gotten a fourth-round compensatory pick for him, but as you note, it would have been an extra year down the road. The standard rule of thumb is to discount a pick by round for every year out it is pushed out. By that standard, Green Bay is getting a fourth-rounder for him in 2019 instead of the equivalent of a fifth-rounder the following year. It's like Wimpy used to say:

As for the Redskins, they have to be ecstatic. They get to audition a good safety dirt cheap for the rest of the season before deciding what they want to do with him.
