But how are they able to adapt so quickly to another team when they are traded mid-season for example when the playbooks and the nomenclature are obviously different? I've seem guys play one week for another team and then for a different team the following week and they seem to do fine.

Football players don't really switch teams from week to week

There aren't that many different playbook "languages". The transition is relatively easy if moving across similar systems, i.e. a west coast play book like Walsh's is/was the base for many teams.

Have you ever seen a high level QB do this?
Other positions are much more interchangeable. Dive right or a post pattern is the same on every team

They study the playbook a lot? And most of the plays are very similar, just different vocabulary. And if they don't know, they ask the player next to them...not that hard to figure out
