I've wondered about that for a long time.  If you look at teams that have long term success, it mostly involves player acquisition and coaching.  And yet teams are willing to throw $20 million a year at a player, but won't pony up for the GM or the HC, who are far more valuable to that team than even a hall of fame level player.   Plus, there's no salary cap on front office personnel or coaches, so owners are free to spend whatever they want on those people.  

Jalen Ramsey is going to ask for $20 million a year, but who would you rather have, Jalen Ramsey or Andy Reid?

I guess I just repeated what you said, but it bears repeating.  It's hard to understand the way coaches and GMs are underpaid relative to their worth to the teams.
