re: How are NFL players able to memorize plays and recall them during games?

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.

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
