Ex-NFL star Keyshawn Johnson 'sues agent for $1million' in bombshell filing
Former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson has sued agent Chris Ellison - alleging that he is owed nearly $1milllion for helping him land clients over the years. Super Bowl XXXVII champion Johnson and Ellison reportedly went into business together 10 years ago, with the former receiver agreeing to send clients towards Ellison in exchange for a cut of the contracts they received. However, according to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Johnson is alleging that Ellison did not pay him for four players who became his clients. Ellison has denied the claims in the lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles last week. The players are listed as 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson, Falcons cornerback Mike Hughes and Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs. According to the suit, Johnson was meant to get one percent commission on players' contracts, which would equate to one-third of Ellison's three-percent commission rate. Lenoir signed a five-year, $88.8million extension with San Francisco last year, while Johnson also signed a four-year, $76million extension with Chicago. Hughes, meanwhile, signed an $18million deal with the Falcons in March, while Doubs is still playing on his four-year $4.34million rookie contract. All told, Johnson believes he is owed $962,335 by Elllison. Ellison runs Be The Best Sports Group, which also represents the likes of Raiders cornerback Darnay Holmes and Eagles rookie receiver Giles Jackson. In March, Ellison took to Instagram to congratulate Hughes on his new contract. 'Congratulations to my family Mike Hughes on re-signing with the Falcons,' he wrote. 'The road from New Bern to Atlanta is not as straight as they think it is. But you did it and I'm proud and blessed to be a part of your life.' Johnson, who is best known for his time with the Jets and Buccaneers, retired from football after the 2006 season after an 11-year career.

Keyshawn Johnson sues NFL Agent Chris Ellison for not paying $1 million as finder's fees
(Image via Getty: Keyshawn Johnson) A decade-long twist of tale! So, former WR Keyshawn Johnson brought clients for NFL Agent Chris Ellison. Over ten years, Chris Ellison did not pay one-third of the 3% that Ellison made on the four particular players' salaries to Keyshawn Johnson. The players are San Francisco 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson, Atlanta Falcons cornerback Mike Huges, and Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs. As a result, the Super Bowl Champion, Keyshawn Johnson, filed a lawsuit against NFL Agent Chris Ellison. Keyshawn Johnson pushed players to be represented by NFL Agent Chris Ellison for 10 long years TMZ Sports was the first one to report it. On May 28, TMZ Sports wrote that Johnson said in his suit, which was filed in Los Angeles last week, that he and Ellison struck a deal about a decade ago in which the former New York Jets star agreed to push players to be represented by Ellison in exchange for a portion of the NFL contract the athletes received. Chris Ellison owes Keyshawn Johnson over $962,335 as finder's fees Based on the agreement between FOX Sports 1's daily studio show, SPEAK's co-host, Keyshawn Johnson, and the NFL Agent, Chris Ellison, Ellison should have paid $962,335 to Johnson, but he has not done that yet. And, so, Johnson has sued Ellison to acquire $1 million as finder's fees. NFL Agent Chris Ellison denies claims made by Super Bowl Champion Keyshawn Johnson When TMZ Sports tried to get in touch with Ellison, the NFL Agent said he denied all of the claims made by Keyshawn Johnson in the lawsuit. A year ago, Keyshawn Johnson congratulated NFL Agent Chris Ellison for being real with his client Jaylon Johnson Back in March 2024, Keyshawn Johnson congratulated NFL Agent Chris Ellison for being real with his client (Jaylon Johnson, cornerback for the Chicago Bears) and not being an agent for fake numbers! On March 2024, Mike Florio of NBC Sports reported that Jaylon Johnson could have made $19.8 million, fully guaranteed, for 2024. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Santo Tome (ver precio) Verisure Undo Instead, he traded it in for a $76 million, four-year deal with $54 million guaranteed. The deal averages $19 million. Johnson could have made $19.8 million this year end(2024) if tagged again in 2025, $23.76 million. That's $43.56 million over two years. The convention when it comes to turning a franchise tag into a long-term deal is to ensure the first two years of the tag are fully guaranteed at signing. Maybe it is. Maybe the deal is front-loaded. For now, however, there are real questions about whether Johnson got fair value for trading in the $19.8 million tag for 2024 and the availability of a 20-percent raise if tagged again.
