You need to remember the precedent the Eagles set with Riley Cooper when he was caught on film using the N word. 2013 was a different time, but he was fined and suspended for a week IIRC from training camp and forgiven by his teammates.
Doing anything more drastic with Jackson is going to open the floodgates of people calling out hypocrisy or saying it only matters more now because the owner is Jewish. So, probably a fine, brief suspension and sensitivity training.
Then to get ahead of any future issues maybe they release a memo advising their players and officials the going forward there will be zero tolerance for any racist/bigoted statements and players/staff engaging in any type of behavior under these auspices will be immediately released, or whatever punishment they deem fitting.
I think if this was about any other team but Philly that didn't have that precedent set he would probably be released.
