The 29-year-old Honolulu, Hi., native had been fighting through three knee surgeries to try to resurrect his career in Calgary, but because of the solid play of Juwan Simpson and rookie Deron Mayo continuing to make a name for himself, there was no room to keep Lobendahn.
Prior to joining the Stampeders Lobendahn spent four years with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers where he had 180 tackles, seven sacks and one interception.
In other Stamps news, the team added linebacker Wilkerson DeSouza to the practice roster.
