Cris Carter is no longer working for Fox Sports. That is the only information we can confirm as facts at this point.

It has been leaked that Cris Carter was upset about not being used for Fox Sports Thursday Night Football NFL coverage. Fox Sports recently hired former New England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski to their Thursday Night Football team.
