He filed his case in Los Angeles last week, the publication adds.
NFL agent Ellison denied all claims made by Johnson against him in a statement to TMZ.
Johnson played wide receiver in the NFL from 1996 to 2006.
He was a No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick by the New York Jets and played for the team until 1999.
The three-time Pro Bowl receiver won the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002.
He also played for the Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers before retiring after the 2006 season.
Johnson has moved into a broadcasting career since his retirement.
The former ESPN analyst now works for Fox Sports.
And one of his other ventures involves agent Ellison.
The 52-year-old claims he had an agreement with Ellison to funnel clients his way.
Johnson said he was supposed to receive a cut of the commission Ellison earned.
According to the lawsuit, Johnson claims he was supposed to receive one-third of the commission the agent earned.
The four contracts in question are those of 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson, Falcons cornerback Mike Hughes and Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs.
Johnson claims he is owed just shy of $1 million from Ellison.
But the agent has denied all claims made by the former wide receiver.
Johnson is currently a co-host of FS1 show Speak.
He works on the weekday debate show with Joy Taylor and former NBA star Paul Pierce.
In his previous role with ESPN, Johnson worked on the Sunday NFL Countdown program.
He spent a decade at the network before moving to Fox.
