Hall of Fame receiver Cris Carter is out at Fox Sports, the network announced Thursday morning.

Carter had been a panelist on FS1’s “First Things First,” a morning debate show that he co-hosted with Nick Wright and Jenna Wolfe.

While there have been reports that Carter was miffed about not being a part of Fox’s “Thursday Night Football” studio show, that is not the reason he was let go.

He may have been upset about not having a role on TNF, but sources said the matter at hand is more serious. It is unknown at this time what the exact nature of the disagreement. Carter could not be immediately reached for comment.

“Cris Carter is no longer with Fox Sports,” the network said. “There is no further comment at this time.”

The Big Lead was the first to note that Carter was not on the air since Oct. 30. Front Office Sports first mentioned Carter’s disdain over not being included in the pregame.

Former Giants lineman Chris Canty has been the primary replacement for Carter on the show. Carter, 53, previously worked at ESPN after starring for the Vikings.

Sexual misconduct or drugs

They need someone like Dominique Foxworth opposite Nick. Someone who will challenge him.

I think it should be a rotational thing until they find someone that’s a good fit. I wouldn’t mind Bart with Matt Barnes or Jason Terry getting some time.

no more Butch Carter references

also I like the fact they are going to keep a black man in his position. One of the reasons I watch FS1 is because of the black voices on there

Dude got fired from the two biggest sports networks, you gotta be an A1 a$$hole to flame out of 2 gigs.

Damm
- he was a decent analyst. But seemed like an a$$hole
- I actually like first things first in the mornings. I think marcellus wiley could fit in that crew

that's actually a good idea. bring Wiley over. Replace him with Lavar Arington (I like Lavar, maybe he can talk basketball, idk) on SFY
