NFL: Kansas City Chiefs at San Diego Chargers Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports

The NFL annual owners meetings are ongoing this week, and one of the week’s most unique events is called the coaches breakfast.

All 32 head coaches, including Andy Reid and familiar names like (Philadelphia Eagles head coach) Doug Pederson and (Chicago Bears head coach) Matt Nagy, are available in a roundtable, breakfast setting. Reid is usually a popular name even for those reporters outside of Kansas City, as he has many ties that extend to other teams’ coaching personnel.

Here is some Kansas City Chiefs-related news that came out of the breakfast:

12:36 p.m. Arrowhead Time — Matt Nagy likes cheeseburgers, too

10:45 a.m. Arrowhead Time — Jon Gruden says he cried after trading Mack

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich raved about his new defensive end — former Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston.

10:33 a.m. Arrowhead Time - Reid hasn’t been in touch with Tyreek Hill

Of course, the media would ask about Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who is reportedly involved in an Overland Park Police investigation relating to an injury reportedly suffered by his son. Reid told Yahoo! Sports’ Terez Paylor that he hasn’t been in touch with Hill, and other than saying the Chiefs don’t know exactly what happened in the alleged incident, he doesn’t have a further statement to make.
