The Bengals also cut 12 players, including defensive tackle Langston Moore, who started eight games last season, to get to the regular-season limit of 53 players.
Clemons, who had 6½ sacks for the Bengals in 2004, had lost his starting job to Justin Smith in the preseason but was still expected to contribute.
Drafted by Minnesota in the first round in 1996, Clemons played with the Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs before signing with Cincinnati in 2003. In his 10-year career, Clemons has 47½ sacks.
Casey Bramlet, a second-year quarterback, was released as the Bengals decided to keep Craig Krenzel as their third quarterback.
The Bengals claimed Krenzel off waivers from the Chicago Bears on June 20 to compete for the third-string job, backing up Carson Palmer and Jon Kitna. Krenzel was a two-year starter at Ohio State, leading the Buckeyes to a national title.
He went 15-for-34 for 186 yards and a touchdown in the preseason for a below-average passer rating of 59.2.
Bramlet did much better, going 11-for-17 for 103 yards with a pair of touchdowns and a rating of 120.5, well above average. The Bengals drafted Bramlet in the seventh round last year, but he didn't play as a rookie.
The Bengals also cut kicker Carter Warley, who was brought to training camp because Shayne Graham had a sore groin. Graham kicked extra points Sept. 2 in a 38-0 preseason victory against Indianapolis and looked fine.
Also cut were running back Quincy Wilson, wide receivers Cliff Russell and Jamall Broussard, cornerbacks Patrick Body and Brandon Williams, linebacker Derek Curry, safety Herana-Daze Jones, fullback Ronnie Ghent and offensive tackle Pete Lougheed. Linebacker Caleb Miller was placed on the physically unable to perform list.
